There are quite a few papers out there on the subject. Just enter "SMT void reduction" into google or other search engine and take your pick. That said, slow ramp rates and paste volume reduction are a good place to start. Although I haven't tried i

Hey Everyone, we have recently been discovering an increase of failed MLCC capacitors across various builds and after being in the field for some time. Vendor reports that a "high energy" event occurred but the detail is limited and i'm left looking
