I like this suggestion the best as a "band aid", check out some of the low tombstoning solder pastes. I've seen these work.

Home plate design is great for avoiding beads and tombstoning in some cases, but it will not help you when the spacing is too far apart. It will make it worse. You need a good even screen and accurate placement.

Well, I'm speaking in general Our stencil guy insists on those part edits at 100% He's one of the loudest voices calling for me to "Stop slamming the parts into the PCB" All my research so far says we need to be looking at the stencil apertures.

We know virtually nothing about your process, but here's some guesses: * Turn-off the nitrogen * Change from Sn63 to Sn62 * Change to a low-tombstone paste * Change the thermal recipe: slower ramp, longer soak * Do a better job of placing components

I haven't seen those names in a while. I used to work with them; the ones from Plexus anyway. That must be from about 2000 or 2001, I think that's about when Michael Yuen left the company. I haven't read through this yet, but Mr. Yuen is a very sh

We're having some problems with 0402's tombstoning. On a board with about 300 parts we're getting about 12 to 20 tombstones per board. The caps seem to do it more often than the res. The pads appear to be in accordance with IPC SM 782 amendment 1, S

Messy. Messy. Messy. Consider gluing these components, until you control your process. It is unclear to us that a single factor drives these defects, but multiple factors that need to be tuned to work well together. PAD DIMENSIONS * Some SM-782 pa

What in process methods are being used to validate the value of 0402 resistors during first piece inspection?
