Subject: Thermal Relief on Vias
Cc: [log in to unmask]
Does there remain any reason to have thermal reliefs on vias
(ie: drilled hole size less than 0.016" diameter) ?
Process improvements at our major suppliers have greatly reduced
the incidence of "pink ring", and generally improved the quality
of the adhesion between internal copper layers and the epoxy
laminate.
I would appreciate comments on any potential small hole
reliability issues with eliminating thermal reliefs on:
- standard vias (DHS < 0.015" diameter).
- "probe/test point" vias which are required to be solder-
filled where there are no/few adjacent power/ground plane
clearances.
Thanks,
