While Russ is correct that a little voiding is OK, your level of voiding [customer complains that the solder surface looks bumpy] doesn't give us the ol' warm and fuzzy about their process control. For background: * Search the fine SMTnet Archives.

Russ, The caps are 0603 case size. I am not sure about the manufacturing details, as I work for the capacitor supplier. The manufacturing details are unclear at the moment, as the customer (South of the border) has not released such detailed inform

A-610 talks to acceptable voiding.

Dave, I am not exactly sure what is driving them to believe that this is a capacitor issue. It is unfortunate, that this belief has slowed their activity in further understanding their manufacturing process. The caps are BME (Base Metal Electrode

Kris The majority of our tombstoning in very small passive SMT is caused by imperfections in end-cap solderability protection plating.
