Recent cross-section analysis for a customer complaint revealed voiding in the solder fillet. In some cases, the remains of outgassing were also observed. During the failure analysis, we also observed failures where the solder fillet wicked on the

Takfire Questions are: * Why does your customer think the capacitor is the issue? [What are we thinking? Of course the capacitor is causing this voiding problem. What else could it be?] * What are the type, construction, end-cap material and plati

Thanks for the info, Here is a couple more questions (and you thought you were done) What size are these caps /res? how thick is your stencil? what type of oven are you using? what is the finish of the board? Anyway, it seems like (from a distance)t

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

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
