No direct experience with this particular issue....but, I do know that measuring capacitance can be tricky. How are you arriving at this conclusion? Are you measuring the caps on the bench before assembly, and then on the boards post assembly? Cap

Just a basic suggestion.... Inspect the nozzle placing the component...because that is the only medium, apart from the PCB design, which can be causing the damage. It occurred in my Department.

Hi, about location - components are in the diferent location on PCB.In the one PCB have 7 cap 560pF 0603 , and some of thenm are cracked, another are OK. When I look at 20x microscope , I can't see defect, but ICT measure from 200 to 350pf.When hea

150*C/min * Determining the distance it takes to lower the delta temperature at the current conveyor speed: [150*C/min]/[25 inch/min] = 6*C/inch * Calculating how much of this 6*C/inch would be spread along the length of the 0805 capacitor: [6*C/inch

A couple of things: Does the cap break if you try to remove it with hot air? If not, than you are breaking the caps do to mechanical stress. We have had similar issues. I don't think your board is suffering from mechanical stress from depaneling o

We're looking for a contractor who can support high volume production of 0201 passives and 1-2mm csp's to create 4mm sq. RF modules as well as mold cap capabilities. Any leads would appreciated.

While I can't directly answer your question, we've had the same problem here occasionally. Our wash parameters are roughly the same as yours. It seems to be correlated to the diameter of the cap (larger caps will balloon while most smaller caps are

Can you implement a longer soak? how many feet of heat do you have in oven? Russ

Sure! But they warm up slower than everything else, so it's not a big deal. You can taylor your profile around them and never exceed your 50 second threshold.

How large of chip capacitor can we use reliably? I��ve heard they tend to crack. I��ve also heard if you pre heat the larger chip caps (1812 and above) before vapor phase reflow, they won��t crack. If I use 2 mil copper for a power supply board, a
