Re: [motm] Pass through holes?

2005-01-14 by The Old Crow

Solder-fill all the vias (pass-though holes) with the "no-clean" solder.  
Don't use the washable flux solder for this.

  Vias are such a freaking nightmare; they are the cause of more
motherboard failures than anything else.  Board makers that allow the 
soldermask to flow over over unsoldered vias are just asking for trouble.
