I have a problem with a Murata cap chip type resonator(ROHS). After the reflow process, the soldering joints flow to one side of the component. I did not have this problem with the leaded component. Did someone have a solution for this problem?

Hi Joris,

Which package type is it?

1) Melf/quadra melf (CSA) 2) Can type (CSTCC/CSTCR/AVX PBRC) 3) Chip type 3 pad (CSTCE) 4) Chip Type 4 pad (CSTCW)

Cheers,

Rob.

Hi Joris,

I've used 10's of Millions of these (and the AVX version - PBRC****) and never found this problem (I also worked for Murata back in the mists of time & never encountered it).

Internally the part is thermally symmetrical, so the only thing I can imagine if it was component related is for half of the terminations to be contaminated causing the solder to flow elsewhere - however it is quite a small device & this would be very hard to achieve.

My guess would be this is a layout issue - with solder flowing either towards a via or hotter area of the board (large copper area etc.).

Is this the first time that you have placed this component instead of using the through hole part?

Hi rob,

We use the component for a long time and never had a problem with the reflow process. Since the component is Leadfree we see the problems. We have the same problem with defferent pcb's. The tin not always flows to the same direction. I checked the layout and it's the same as they specified.

Kind regards,

Joris

Do all of your PCBs come from the same supplier & are they HASL?
