Does anyone know of a supplier of ceramic reflow Thermodes for a Microjoin 4200 hot bar machine? Microjoin was acquired by Miyachi Unitek and they of course do not support this machine any more.

Hi We are experiencing serious problem with ceramic capacitors. They are with low electrical resistence and the problem is intermittent. We found some of them with micro cracks but not all. What could be the causes for this problem? We are su

Do you know what the maximum temperature rating is for the devices. But in my past experience you could be seeing the following. Excess thermal ramp rates typically you would like to see 2 to 3C/sec in the reflow oven, if it is greater than this i wo

if the capacitors are placed very near to the edge and their position is 90 deg than it may cause crack.4thly if the reflow ramp rate is more than 3 deg C then it may crack. 5th ly if the solderin tip temp. is very high and soldering bit is very thi

Lets get to the simple things. Wave or Reflow? Wave soldered parts have a higher susceptibility to physical damage until they are waved. That�s were I normally see this type of break. Usually, the crack is a circular pattern in the cap if it�s fr

I've seen numerous incidences of mirror image cracking under endcaps in high dielectric material ceramic capacitors due to thermal cycling. If the cracking is deep enough to extent through the plates you can get breakdown and shorting. Section the ca

Thanks for your reply - parts in tape have similar markings - gets worse after reflow. ~20% have this issue. Units pass test no problem. Occurrence is random.

I've never seen this before and I would be suspicious. Have you tried to dust it off with a brush or Q-tip, it might just be some sort of process contamination. Have you looked at the reel to see if the parts are coming in with these spots from the

What does the technical data sheet for the component recommend for reflow profile ? Can you post a photo of the component ?

I have a large monoblock ceramic filter on a PTFE based pcb material. The filter has a metal casing soldered onto the ceramic filter. I am concerned that if the heating rate is to rapid, then thermal shock / differential expansion could cause the fil
