Pad design is not only the size of pad but also the distance between two pad. N2 will increase tombstone as we tested. 10 zones reflow oven and slow temperature ramp will reduce this defect. MustII is the equipment which is used to test the solderabi

Did u ever try a anti-tombstone solder paste to try to eliminate this problem ??

Kris The majority of our tombstoning in very small passive SMT is caused by imperfections in end-cap solderability protection plating.

Hi, It is expected that lead-free will have reduced tomstoning. As it has a higher surface tension and does not wet as well as the tinlead paste it exibit lower tombstoning. Addiotnaly commercialy available lead-free alloys may not be true eutectic

Hi, Very interesting article on tombstone issue, i'm facing tombstone issue for 0805 IDC component, i've redesign the stencil aperture and change to lead free paste, the tombstone is reducing but not fully eliminated, however there is a problem i fa

If what you say is accurate, two thing come to mind: * Pads on the board are incorrect for the tombstoning components. * Profile is different on the individual pads of tombstoning components. We have heard of, but never seen, components [tants] that

AIM has an article that includes anti-tombstoning solder paste information. It's called "Reducing The Tombstoning of Small Discrete Components" and is located at http://www.aimsolder.com/technical_articles.cfm#14 Or I can send a copy to anyone inte

Hi, This is an interesting point. I use Koki paste from Japan, and it's wonderful, however what properties of solder paste would make it "anti tombstone" paste? How does led free effect tomb-stoning? That would be interesting to know. We might go

Hi David, Can you send me a copy of this article "Reducing The Tombstoning of Small Discrete Components". Thanks a lot.

Did you check if the height of solder mask between two pads is higher than pads?
