We keep seeing a problem with the plastic tool tip on an A12 tool being sliced off. I think it is hitting the edge of the tape separator clip assembly - I determined this by coating the tip in paint and then finding where the tip had struck the meta

Hi, My company is currently experiencing a high feild failure rate on a 100nF chip ceramic that we use in various applications across our product range. One of them being de-coupling which means we use millions of this device every month. The failu

This issue is coming from a customer. The customer demands that we do not mechanically center or test passive components, because of issues they had in the past. There has been a studies that it takes about 8-10 newtons to damage chip. Most of our pa

Thanks for the reply, how do people handle different packages then if you can't add new ones? If we had a 1206 sized inductor, then a 1206 sized ferrite bead and so on, they would all have to be grouped under the same generic heading? e.g. Chip-R321

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,

Flex cracking under the terminations is generally regarded as one of the primary causes of failure of ceramic chips. If you can see cracks in the solder joints from board flex, those chips are certainly strongly suspect, and you must assume there is

And consider the posibility that they are actually suffering from MSD type damage.
