I have experienced tombstone with one brand of 0603 capacitor. Swapping in another brand (actually two different brands to date) has stopped the tombstone. I have measured the parts (length, width and height). There does not appear to be any apprecia

If you have a known problem with the parts, then Reject them back to the Vendor. It appears that you have a solderability issue. As for Tombstoning on 0402 chips, this could trace back to the stencil design and/or machine placement. Define Tombstoni

We had some similar issues on one of our products.The oven profile is critical. We found that with a gradual soak ramp up it took care of about 80% of the tombstoning.The other thing that we found was pad design issues. Take a look at the sept. issu

I need your help. I have been battleing tombstoned 0603 resistors for many months now. I have been working on the profile, the placement accuracy of the chipshooter, and the print accuracy. I am writing in the hopes that someone out there has some

If i have problem with tombstone, first i would look at the placement of my components. if placement is 50% greater on the pad, it would be ok to reflow. even you have bad profile, you would have some other problem not tombstone. then i look at

Tombstoning 0805s w/palladium/platinum/silver terminations We are experiencing tombstoning problems on 0805 packages that have paladium/platinum/silver terminations. It comes & goes...... I�ve checked the reflow profile, and paste deposition and a

I'm currently running a double sided paste smt board loaded with 0603's, on the secondary side. Many of the 0603 devices tombstone during reflow if the parts are not perfectly centered on the pads. Is this caused by the .008 foil thickness? Has anyon

Hi All, The best solution we made on our tombstone defects is component Z dimension set at pick and place machine. Usually for 0402 components Z height is pre-set by the machine at 0.5 mm, by reducing it to 0.35mm we have solve our tombstone problem

Hi, This is an interesting point. I use Koki paste from Japan, and it's wonderful, however what properties of solder paste would make it "anti tombstone" paste? How does led free effect tomb-stoning? That would be interesting to know. We might go
