Fabrication of a reliable circuit board assembly with soldered, plated through-hole structures is facilitated by characterizing plating of a plated through-hole of the circuit board using time-domain reflectance to obtain a base reflectance measurement, and applying solder to the plated through-hole. Based on applying the solder, the plating of the plated through-hole of the circuit board is re-characterized using time-domain reflectance to obtain a new reflectance value. Based on a deviation between the new reflectance measurement and the base reflectance measurement exceeding a threshold, dissolution, at least in part, of the plating of the plated through-hole due to applying the solder is identified.

Filing a plated through-hole of a circuit board with solder is facilitated by an apparatus which includes a wire solder assembly and a controller. The wire solder assembly includes a wire probe sized to extend into the plated through-hole from one side of the circuit board, and a solder block associated with the wire probe so that the probe passes through the solder block. The controller controls heating of the wire probe, when the wire probe is operatively inserted into the plated through-hole, by passing a current through the wire probe. The heating of the wire probe heats a conductive plating of the plated through-hole and melts the solder block. The heating of the conductive plating and the melting of the solder block causes the solder to migrate into the plated through-hole by capillary action to fill the plated through-hole with the solder.

A printed circuit board manufacturing method and a printed circuit board thereof are disclosed. The printed circuit board manufacturing method includes the steps of: providing a dielectric; performing a layout process on a surface of the dielectric; drilling the dielectric to form at least one plated through hole, wherein the at least one plated through hole has an annular ring disposed on the surface of the dielectric; and coating a solder resist on the surface of the dielectric to cover at least one part of the annular ring.

An electronic component is mounted on a surface layer of a multilayer substrate constituting a wiring substrate, and a signal wire of the surface layer is electrically connected to the electronic component. A conductor pad for contact with an inspection probe is composed of a via and a solder filled in an internal opening portion thereof. The via has a laser-processed taper-shaped hole with a metal-plated inner peripheral surface and connects the inter-layer connection between the signal wire of the surface layer and a signal wire of the inner layer. The solder is filled in the opening portion of the via by filling, heating and melting solder material therein. Since the peripheral edge portion is solidified first at the time of the cooling and the solidification, the middle part is recessed compared to the peripheral edge portion. This ensures a reliable contact of the inspection probe.
