| I noticed that some of our pcb's component legend/designation are unreadable as they are placed under smt pads. Is this correct and according to standard? Although we don't have any problems with them as of now, I would like to know the effects on

| I am looking for a rule of thumb regarding the maximum ramp standard components (chip capacitors) can tolerate without failure during the reflow process. The standard seems to be 3C\second, but this figure is generally derived from the average ram

| We're getting field failures in a high impedance portion of the circuit. Think the unpopulated pc card has contaminates because we were able to grow dendrites by applying a 9 volt battery across the suspected pad, placed a drop of de-ionized water
