Has anyone heard of a problem with catastrophic failure of large value (200uF) solid tantulum capacitors that have been exsposed to high humdity.

I am having fractures in my tantalum caps, I believe it is from out fading but I am having a hard time convincing others. Where they are not hermatically sealed are thes fractures a concern? Moisture is entering the body regardless of the fractures?

Out gassing not out fading

Thanks I appreciate the information

I have read this I guess the question I should be asking is what have you done when finding these? IPC says it enters the body so it is a defect many in my group feel it should not be because they are not hermacticaly sealed anyway. I am needing thou

Numerous technical papers on the web document the moisture sensitivity of tant caps. Here's one: https://nepp.nasa.gov/DocUploads/CE5125B5-E0EB-4CFA-8867BE3F3E342CA5/moisture%20effect%20Ta%202C%20M.pdf

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
