Holes in pad are allowed only for blind holes and not for through holes.
Recommendations for PCB pad surfaces:
Finish Layer thickness [µm] Properties
Electro-less Ni /
Immersion Au

0.05 – 0.15
good solder ability protection, high
shear force values
The PCB must be able to resist the higher temperatures, which are occurring at the lead-free process.
This issue should be discussed with the PCB-supplier. Generally, the wet-ability of tin-lead solder
paste on the described surface plating is better compared to lead-free solder paste.
