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 wettability of tin-lead solder
