HI Werner, THE PROBLEM IS : 1. The actual thickness is more than 10% less of the nominal thickness. 2. Some delamination occurs after the cooling. 3. In the section report, the diameter of land to add 0.3mm of the drill size is not enough. Is that some in other factory or just the problem of us? Best regards, Eddy Chen _________________________________________________________________ Dear Chuck, Thanks it is quite helpful information.

What is failing? The PTH barrels? The interconnects? Werner Engelmaier Engelmaier Associates, L.C.
