What is an acceptable mismatch for smt components and pcb. We are having cracked solder joints from fatigue after repeated thermal cycling 25 deg. c to 125 deg.c.

We wouldn't expect the ceramic of the capacitor to conduct very much heat. [We're surprised how high the thermal conductivity of Al2O3 is: (30W/m-�C).] Can we assume that you're talking about parts that are defective at incoming inspection?

Dennis: These "terminal detach failures" probably are caused by thermal shocking of the components. * Preheat the components * Use a hot air pencil rather than a soldering iron

Hi all Did anyone encounter that the thermal crack failure or any failure issue by using the Kemet Ceramic Cap, particularly 0.1uF,while wave soldering? Before using this part, I want to clarify whether it is suitable for our process or not. Thanks i

As you say, some BIG time force has pulled the metalization from the bottom of the component termination. From the pix it's hard to say whether it was caused by either: * Mechanical flexure of the board during an unusual heating or other processing

When we have sent some of motherboards for reliability testing in a tird party laoratory. It is found that when Dye&Pry is done after 600 cycles of Thermal Cycling, in LGA socket only one of the corner solder joing had 100% type 3 crack. All other so

We are down to the last few unresolved PCBA test failures in a work order and scrambling to get them repaired and into a mechanical assembly. What we have found in quite a few of these cases are cracked 1206 MLCCs. The failed parts are all the same
