Hi Steve I had that problem before and what caused this it was the vibration of the depaneling process, without hitting any component, if the capacitor is too close to the depaneling edge chances are you are facing the same problem I had. The way how

Thanks for the reply. We have carefully inspected the part and solder joint after depaneling and all looks good. What is weird is if you remove the part from the board and check continuity with a meter you have a dead short. If you put on a new part

We are finding solder shorts under 1206 Components on the bottom side of our boards.In all cases these shorts are from either side of the component to a feed-thru under the component body. Adhesive is used to glue down the component and then the boar

Hi, I am process engineer of SMT production. We have some strange problemn with tantalum capacitors. 1 case: If tantalum capacitor placed near BGA and one of his legs is connected to one of the BGA balls, after reflow we can see short between two or

Hi In selecting or substituting a capacitor for use, consideration must be given to (1) the value of capacitance desired and (2) the amount of voltage to be applied across the capacitor. If the voltage applied across the capacitor is t

Steve, We have had the same problem at my company and unfortunately I do not have any good news for you. We are using a pizza slicer type depanalizer from FKN and if the MLCC caps are layed out too close to the edge they still break. We had to add th

I've seen numerous incidences of mirror image cracking under endcaps in high dielectric material ceramic capacitors due to thermal cycling. If the cracking is deep enough to extent through the plates you can get breakdown and shorting. Section the ca

Thank you for the information. I am in touch with Epoxy Technology. They recommended two products. I will try one of them and find out how it works. I was just wondering if anyone like to share their experience with epoxy printing and 0402 SMT capa

I'm involved in backplane manufacturing process. There are about 10 electrolitic capacitor assembled in my board.These capacitor are soldered using a selective soldering machine. My problem is that these capacitor will charged up and failed as short

We are currently seeing short circuits on both 100nF and 1uF capacitors from TDK circa 2001. There are known design limitations to the PCB resulting in mechanical stress, howevre this PCB has been built for several years and this is a new phenomenon.
