it was discovered that the VIAs underneath the pads for the JAE DC3 Micro-HDMI connector are sucking the solder paste in and down, leaving the pins not properly connected. ...
if anyone knows any tricks i would appreciate hearing them.
Can you enlarge the solder mask for these pads, thus providing enough solder to both fill the via and make the connection?
This is the standard recommendation when using thermal pads / thermal vias.
