Can anyone help me with the pros and cons of trying to wave solder tantalum and large (1812) ceramic capacitors. I do know that one may see fractures on larger cermaic caps, but have not seen much on the tantalums. Any insight as to what problems I c

Try heating a blank board on a hotplate to 183 deg C. with a board this thick, if the layer construction is poorly balanced, it may bend enough in the region of the ceramic capacitor for the soldered joints to crack it on cooling to ambient.

| Dennis, thanks for your input. I myself can't remember having any caps fail due to thermal stress/cracking. But the guru's here says it happens and since the assembly is for space flight, it's a requirement to preheat. Also, your process is exactl

Can anyone help to identify this little tan/brown colored pcb part? (The one labeled GND) I believe it's called an SMD ceramic capacitor but could certainly be incorrect. There don't appear to be any marking on it so beside the tan color, picture qu

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

Are these caps on the bottom side or topside? Bottomside could be the glue dots are too big for the caps your putting down, the glue cures and then the solder is putting force on the edges of the cap causing cracks.. Other than that agree with oth

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
