Blind Vias in the Pad of the nRF9151

[Malte Hering]

Dear Developers,

I am in the process of implementing the nRF9151 and would like to inquire about the necessity of the blind vias in its pad. Like on the nRF9151-DK.

Are these vias essential, or can they be omitted?

What specific function do they serve?

I appreciate your insights on this matter.

Best regards,
Malte Hering

Hello, 

Are these vias essential, or can they be omitted?

The blind vias found in the GND pads can be omitted, but then you should also remove the thermal relief from the GND pads.

Kind regards,
