Thanks, Dennis. That is a good idea, but I have problem :) - our logistic department lookig for cheap components...What other mnfg of cap you use? Regards,

I had cracking caps from the ICT and a variation in the length of the probes (due to wear and tear) that press down the PCB. That put lots of mechanical stress on the PCB. So have also a close look at the ICT, or another other test fixtures you use.

We have been experiencing an issue where our Panasonic film caps on a board are losing their rated capacitance. We are well within their recommended reflow specs and no other operation exposes the part to a temp of more than 160°C. The caps will read

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.

Just a basic suggestion.... Inspect the nozzle placing the component...because that is the only medium, apart from the PCB design, which can be causing the damage. It occurred in my Department.

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

Is the board a two sided smt board? If so, where are the standoffs (board supports) located during the second side run? The 0805 being thicker than the 0603 may explain why 0805 was cracked less.

Hi, about location - components are in the diferent location on PCB.In the one PCB have 7 cap 560pF 0603 , and some of thenm are cracked, another are OK. When I look at 20x microscope , I can't see defect, but ICT measure from 200 to 350pf.When hea

OK, component wide portion runs with the conveyor, so really both sides should heat and cool at the same rate. The crack is at the termination between end cap and ceramic body and run vertically up the end cap, so when we remove the cap it comes of
