IMHO it's caused by three things: 1) placement 2) placement 3) placement

Profile would be the first place I look. Check your rise and fall rates for temp. Should be no more than 2 deg/sec for rise and 4-6 deg/sec for cooling. Phil

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

Hi, previous topics found closed so I couldn't continue on them, but wanted to ask maybe something that we don't already know paste shape and placement ok, reflow 12 zones profile looks ok (same since 2 yrs), component placement ok, one reference i

Try rotating your board 90 degrees when running it through your oven. Will probably solve the tombstoning issue on that cap but might cause tombstoning elsewhere.

I agree with DucHoang. If your board and reflow profile have not changed then I would suspect incoming parts. We've seen tombstones when a chip supplier had plating problems.

If everything else is OK, capacitors quality could be the cause of this issue. Some caps could have been contaminated or the metal mass not even between two ends. Try different kind (manufacturer)of cap.

could be a printer or stencil issue. try to check your printing repeatability. Suggest to use SPI for a checking paste volume/height/area.A regular stencil cleaning may reduced your headache.
