No one has mentioned paste, but I have tested pastes where some do much better than others at not tombstoning parts.

When we first started we had this problem, we eliminated by longer profile (less delta T) and then ultimately chnaged pad dimensioning for 0402 away from IPC standard. i would highly recommend that you check your placement accuracy and your prof

1. Pad design. Most of the tombstones are result of wrong pad(land) design. One pad is significantly bigger than the other or the metal laying under one side of the part is much more than under the other side. 2. Part placement - should be in the ce

Hi Mike, I have had problems in the past that were very difficult to determine the source of. Our tombstoning issues were caused by the plating on the part itself. If your smd placement, x-y positioning and placement pressure is not an issue, and

I think the reasons of the tombstone phenomenon could be concluded as follows: 1.The proper pad size,including the dimension of two pads,the gap of two pads. 2.The temperature distribution must be uniform (take care the shadow-effect) 3.The ramp-up s

Talk to your paste supplier. The reps for a couple of pastes have been very helpfull on various problems. And I've seen pastes advertised as being good for reducing tombstoning. And they see lots of customers and therefore see lots of problems and

Here is some food for thought. Try to answer these questions yourself and I am sure you will see huge improvement. Reasons: - Bad PCB design - Plating-uneven HASL cause more than OSP Au/Ni or Silver - Poor paste and print quality - uneven paste ca
