Tombstoning is usually oven profiling, see October 14 thread below. Aperture rules are misleading. Component mix, stencil thickness, paste factors, all contribute. Also, are you making the stencil from a paste or pad layer or from a soldermask layer?

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

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

I would suggest comparing the profile your factory used and the one they are using. Run a profile on some of the 0402 parts. If the profile is not right, uneven heating will cause this to occur. It could also be the placement accuracy in combinati

Russ, By a longer profile you mean a more even slope across the entire profile. Unfortunately I only have a 5 zone oven that is fairly short. How many heated zones are you using? Did you shrink the 0402 pad design and leave less pad exposed out a

Can anyone out there pls enlighten me on how to solve chip tombstone defects. I am running a board with a lot of 0603 chip. i had fine the profile and the alignment, but it still happen randomly on the board itself. Is there any other way to solve t

Placement looks good...paste to pad coverage good..correct profile used and verified by tracker. The problem being that this one cap is tombstoning at the same place every time. The placement is central. The part is near the edge at the break off.
