Hello Ang, 



Thanks a lot for your input. Please refer to the comments under your 

proposals. We really did the work the same as you proposed but still poor 

solder filling in the through hole barrel with thermal pad, and the 

wetting contact angle exceed 90°.



Do any other assembly shops have the same issue? How to improve? Thanks.



a) Redesign the thermal pad  grounding so that it is not fully contacted 

with the thermal layer.

[Comments] In our design, to facilitate wave soldering, where a component 

through hole is supposed to connect to copper plane, a thermal relief pad 

is designed always.



b) At solder during the SMT process (ensure that the pin is still able to 

insert into the hole).

[Comments] Yes, it is.



c) Increase the preheat to even out the whole board 

[Comment] Tested with dip tester, the preheat temp. is about 120C, and the 



conveyor is set at 80cm/min.



d) If the space/distance between chip wave and main is too far, do not 

turn on the chip wave.

[Comment] Chip wave turn off.

Subject: [TN] How to improve solder filling and wetting contact angles for 



thermal vias at wave soldering process.







Hello TechNet experts,



At the wave soldering process, the solder filling of thermal vias(the via

holes connected with copper plane by thermal pad) can not fulfill the 75%

acceptance spec in IPC-610D. Moreover, at the lead free wave soldering

process, the wetting contact angles of thermal pads exceed 90° often.



My question is how to improve solder filling and wetting contact angles

for thermal via holes? Thanks a lot.



Best Regards
