What is the barrel thickness? Did you etch it and see how is the seed layer and subsequent 1st layer adhesion the the PWB? Any etchback can be observed? You do not need to answer my question. As long as you find out the answer.

Subject: Re: [TN] Missing PTH Barrels in Connector
Hello
Do you know if there are inner layer pads helping secure the structural integrity of the pth? If not I could see how overheating during soldering could easily cause the barrel to pull out of the hole.
