2-3mm would seem close enough to affect the air flow and I was thinking it could be displacing the qfn. However, if you ran a failed board back through reflow and it was functional after that, I'd put my money on insufficient reflow. I suppose it's

Is the failure just out of tolerance or is it non functioning? For tolerance problem, compare the x-rays of the good and bad units. It will take a very high resolution x-ray to spot the differences. Changes in capacitance values can occur based on

There are so many variables to this. It could be paste, pad size, contaminated components-pads, placement speed, component thickness being wrong in the program, dropping parts into the paste instead of placing them, component recognition ploblems. Is

Hi Jax, After component placement, all melf diodes being checked & found no touching each other. Unfortunately, after reflow those MELFs are shorted.

have you checked the registration of the component prior to reflow? If this is good, why don't you take another P/N (0805)that is okay and place of few of them in the trouble spots and see what happens.

What temperature spec are people using in the industry to make sure an electronic component is SMT reflow compatible ? Ex. I have some parts that I want to possibly process as Pin in Paste but am not sure what temperature ratings the plastic will m

We are having a continuing problem with 0603 chip capacitors not centering themselves on the pads during the reflow process, causing an open condition at one end. Does anyone know what can be done to alleviate this? Thanks much. Gary

We had alot of problem with melf diode short together after reflow soldering. The clearance is about 0.8mm & we used "v" shaped opening . PLease comment !

Your evaluation results confirms that Real Chunks is right on thermal mass absorption of the shield, that probably brought cold spots during reflow . I agree with his suggesttions as well.

All, I ran a failed board back thru reflow with shields removed and it works fine. I think that tells me something ? Thanks all who contributed to the thread. aj...
