Sorry to build up your hopes. The latest thing to hit the air ways at work, I was accessed of fiddling with the oven settings, because there were reports of "cracked joints" there was no mention of where the cracks were, cracked at the pcb or cracke

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

We are finding cracked capacitors at both first pass and second pass.

I have seens cracks from AVX capacitors too. The thing is they already have micro cracks that are not visible to naked eye. When the capacitor is stressed the crack expands. One way of mitigating this is by tweeking your process. See how your singula

A little more information, please: * Describe the location and pattern of your cracks * Tell us the type of capacitor that you're destroying

Are all of these parts from the same supplier? No. We have three different suppliers,AVX,Dublier and Kemet.We have had cracked capacitors from reels of each of these suppliers.
