Todd, There are aspect ratio limitations for HASL  when perfect appearance is expected. However, even though you did not specify explicitly at bare board level, can you establish that the solder protrusion adversely affects form, fit, or function at the next highest level of manufacture (i.e. assembly)? If so, then discussion with the supplier is warranted and covered in the "front matter" of IPC-600 and IPC-610. Gerry

> Hi everyone,

> We are encountering some problems with HASL (SnPb) boards where many vias are coming in filled or partially-filled with solder. In some cases the solder protrudes enough to interfere with the SMT solder stencil process. The plant checked 10 incoming bare boards and all 10 had at least a few vias filled with solder protruding enough to cause problems.

> I don't see anything in IPC-600 that would disqualify this condition. We don't specifically state in our drawing that closed vias are not allowed, but is there a standard that governs via fill/protrusions from the HASL finish?
