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

In December and January (1997 & 1998) a number of people requested information regarding component cracking. I overlooked this until recently thinking design and process requirements were violated. After reviewing the last 14 months consulting effort

Most componnent cracking is mechanicaly produced a guide to causes of capacitor damage is included as a download file on my web page www.bobwillis.co.uk I feel that the supplier is looking to blame some one else. IPC make comment on pre heating chip

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

Does anyone have any insight as to the cause of cracked chip capacitors during SMT? Z-stop? Thermal shock? Any help is appreciated.

Suggest you ask vendor for a failure analysis. Ceramic chips have specific signatures for mechanical or thermal shock cracking. The vast majority of failures are due to mechanical flex. Depanelization and secondary operations such as hand insertion

Igmar, If these parts are epoxied in place, and subsequently wave soldered, I would bet you a cup of coffee that they are cracking due to the thermal shock of the wave. Typically there is a valley or dip in the temperature after the pre-heat in the w
