Is it possible for PCB assembly house to solder a stranded wires to THT holes as shock-resistance?

I have designed a PCB which needs wires soldering to THT holes. Is it possible to outsource this?

Yes unless the design is optimized. If the PCB is an automotive electronics solution, it should not only withstand slight shocks, it should also withstand vibrations and some harder shocks.It is advisable to use only those connectors designed for such cables and don’t solder the cable at all. There are additional strain-relief parts for those connectors and cables.

Or, you can ask for design tips from your assembly house to ensure successful mass production.

Is it ok to call all the chips with alphanumeric labels BGA (ball grid array)?

Some ICs have their pins labelled only with numerical values and some use alphanumeric labels. I want to know what is the correct naming term for these cases.
Is it ok to call all the chips with alphanumeric labels BGA (ball grid array)? And for chips with only numeric pin labels the chip should be called DIL (dual in line)?

How can I handle missing solder mask opening on PCB footprint?

I have three through-hole PCBs that are missing front and back solder mask openings for two of the components. The solder mask (usually green) is covering the front and back solder pads. All other pads for all other parts are exposed. Is there a good way to remove the solder mask so that I can solder the components to the board?
