Mike: I'm with you. The only variable is the component. Look for corrosion, uneven plating, or crud on one of the end-caps. Good luck. Dave F

Thanks to all who responded. I am tending to believe oxidation is the root cause. I will be contacting the supplier to get definitive answer. Mike

What machine are you using to place the components? I assume that you have checked placement prior to the refow process?

I have seen this before, our problem was palladium termination of this component. We could not change suppliers so we use a "reverse homeplate" stencil design to put the majority of paste directly underneath the solder terminations of the component

Hi Mike, I have had problems in the past that were very difficult to determine the source of. Our tombstoning issues were caused by the plating on the part itself. If your smd placement, x-y positioning and placement pressure is not an issue, and

Michael: I would agree with Jason. It seems your analysis has pointed you to one specific brand of part. I've also seen this phenomenon. The part was Palladium plated and when we switched to a nickel/tin plated part, the problem went away. Some o
