Are there via's underneath the Tantalum, closed with soldermask on the other boardside only ? I've had a situation recently where a chip resistor was blown away by the outgassing of via's under a Tantalum. The presence of the Tantalum caused the vap

Tantalum caps degrade over time. You should not be seeing "chipped-off & cracks" regardless of the age. This should not be a shelf-life issue, unless you are storing them in an aquarium. Tell us the story. Solderability is a shelf-life issue and

Also most of Tantalum Caps are iron-magnetic material made, for sure is not this case but always wen we met problems like James met, we had always sot-23, light capacitors 0603 as you know some of them have Nikel barriel (also magnectic sensitive) an

Your tantalum capacitor supplier offers the best advice. We're not sure of the package that you plan to use. * If you are referring to molded package, surface mount, tantalum caps, yes, they can be wave soldered. Smaller case size chips (eg, Kemet A

Mario, Thanks for your response. We are building a leaded assembly with hot air leveled Sn/Pb pads on the PCB. In one case the component is a 7.5X5.2X1.8 wire wound ferrite inductor with Au/Sn leads. The second component is an 0808 Tantalum cap,

Based on your knowledge and experience, could you tell me about speed differences when placing a mix of SMD at mass production? We could consider packages like the small R & C chips, then SOD323, SOT-23, SOT-23-5, SOT23-6, SON6, QFN8, SOIC-8, SOIC-16

Hi all, by reading along those thread (SOT23) and Tan outgassing I learned plenty of things. My first time approacing this kind of Q$A Forum, very intesting tech communication way. Any way, the path of magnetism effect was chosen when time ago we met

If you hold your board sideways in a 90 degree angle you apply a force of 1 g to your components. 1 g translates into 32 ft / sec. square. This is not too much acceleration for fearless roller coaster drivers but Melf�s and Tantalums can fall off at
