Thanks I appreciate the information

I have read this I guess the question I should be asking is what have you done when finding these? IPC says it enters the body so it is a defect many in my group feel it should not be because they are not hermacticaly sealed anyway. I am needing thou

I am having fractures in my tantalum caps, I believe it is from out fading but I am having a hard time convincing others. Where they are not hermatically sealed are thes fractures a concern? Moisture is entering the body regardless of the fractures?

Numerous technical papers on the web document the moisture sensitivity of tant caps. Here's one: https://nepp.nasa.gov/DocUploads/CE5125B5-E0EB-4CFA-8867BE3F3E342CA5/moisture%20effect%20Ta%202C%20M.pdf

Your ppl are correct, the capacitor is not sealed. So, it is perfectly acceptable for the capacitor to have absorbed moisture. If your ppl don't either prevent moisture absorption or remove the moisture prior to soldering, their component could fail

I guess I've been somewhat ignorant when it comes to the finer details of pcb layout. Lately I've read a couple of books that try their best to lead me on the straight and narrow. Here is a couple of examples of a recent board of mine, and I have hig

Any recommendation to reduce solder beads next to 0402, 0603 and 0805 caps and res? What about home plate vs. bow tie stencil aperture design?

We've used both effectively to resolve this issue. Check with your stencil manufacturer. Often, they can give you a very good starting place on issues like this since they see everyone's designs. John S.

I have used a 10% area reduction with home plates on 6 mil stencils with good success. If you're using 5 mil stencils you might go with 0 or 5% reduction.
