I have to say I've never heard of anything tombstoning over wave, I've seen issues where the glue dot is too high or off to one side creating a poorly seated component that has too big a gap between pad and endcap(and hence an open), but never a tomb

Asymetry in heating or mechanical forces are the primary reasons for tombstoning regardless of the reflow method. [There's beaucoup of background in the fine SMTnet Archive on reflow tomstoning.] Your situation is curious, but at least you know why

We have seen this type of problem. After eliminating possibility after possibility we corrected the problem by throwing out the glue and starting fresh. It was not expired, just bad for whatever reason, we could not asertain what went wrong with it.

Ok fellas, tell me how you'd fix this! I'm having melf connectors that are tombstoning in the wave, NOT the reflow, the wave. I've never seen this before. All other parameters are the same...solder, preheats, placements, the board, building humidi

I'm with ya John. I'm afraid I'm in brain lock on picturing the situation, mostly because of my bias against waving second side MELF. I know people do it, but we've never had good luck. It would be good if we could have a clear process flow to hel

Another theory just developed in this very moment is that the glue did for what reason ever become "liquid" to a certain degree allowing gravity to do what gravity normally does but only to a certain point where this bubble-gum-like state stopped ( w

I�m with ya both. I�m wondering why the hell those buggers didn�t just drop and started a new career mingling with the dross in the pot. If only a few for statistical reason and to confuse us all just showed this strange behavior and the majority de

Try rotating your board 90 degrees when running it through your oven. Will probably solve the tombstoning issue on that cap but might cause tombstoning elsewhere.

We saw this idea in older posts, but - we don't want tombstone elsewhere :) - rotating the boards before oven is complicated, so it could give more problems than the tombstoneing :) the issue is not 100%, it is 10 to 50 boards with component up per 3

anyone any ideas how to minimise my DPM as regards tombstoning..i have checked oven profile..appeture size on my stencils..placement machine etc and still problems.???????????
