Finny dat Darnel. Guess this proves that jerks can cause tombstoning.

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

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

Sarag, FYI tombstoning is a functional failure. Tombstoning is where one end of the component is not soldered and is in the air above the board/solderjoint surface. You may be thinking of billboarding (part on its side with both ends soldered down)
