Hi all you valuable TechNet'ters: My company makes very small coax type push-on connectors for P. C. board applications among others. I would like to know if there is a standard size pad for a given through via size? The next question would be what would happen if, for electrical reasons I could not comply with the recommendation? My via size is about .015" and I am designing a solder application for a customer so that they can absolutely minimize the spacing between boards. I have only been in this business a few years so I am trying to learn the little tricks to the trade or maybe it's better stated as the exceptions to the rule.. T.
