Hi Henry, amoung all things that cause this funny effect the most effective measures in my experience were good PCB design (pads and equal thermal conditions for both sides of the components), placement accuracy and profiling, profiling, profiling. L

| 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 sol

Everybody aware of the tomb-stone problem on 0402 package. I've done everything I could i.e. Profile, placement, 10 Deg placement, stencil design, but still this culprit exist. One things for sure is taht I have a very bad pad size for 0402 ( 25 mil

I've been struggling with this problem for a while. We have two products: A, which is Ok and B, with tombstone defect (0603 & 0805 capacitor chips). A & B have the same design: pad sizes, separation between pads, components orientation. Both have s

We have this problem with our High Temp. solder lines. Tombstoning is actually the term used in our facility. We found that the component termination width was a main contributor also profile ramp rates. Visual inspection will catch most of these rej

Is it possible that your HVAC system activity is having an effect on your product, as in drying out (or adding moisture to) your paste, or something like that? Have you compared your profiles during wide swings on outside temperature? I'm still on

The first reply from Tsvetan Usunov already answered your question - there are no thermals for one side of the chips. You can try to reduce the phenomenon by using different solder pastes, tuning your soldering profile or even switching to different

Have you tried rotating the board 90 or 180 going into the oven? With inductive components there's a possibility of magnetic current buildup, that pulls the component to one of the pads. Although, I've only seen it on larger inductors. Also, the pres
