Hi there!!! Actually, all mentioned ideas were significantly related to the cause of tombstoning. But, based on what DL said, you have to check the placement of your 0402. Coz, based on experience, i evaluated the different variables for the root

Now we are face with tombstoning for component '0402',we have tried many ways,it seems no change,Below is our experient: 1,The thickness of stencil is 0.12mm,and the aperture is circle.the diameter is 0.55mm.The pads size is 0.5*0.6. 2 Ch

Tombstoning primarily occurs due to the fact that the paste may melt and wet the metallized face of the chip earlier or better at one end than the other. This could be due to a difference in heat capacity (thermal shadowing ?) or that one end of your

Have You adjusted the placement properties of your pick n place machine/software for a 0402, I'm thinking x, y and add a little z. seems to work for me :) (as a temp/perm fix) thinking also about the numerous variables involved. Your printing process

I would check trace-pad interactions as you may be robbing heat from one of the pads causing uneven heating during reflow. Also, measure paste deposits on trouble parts to see volume depsoted across the pads. You should easily be able to do 0402s w

All of the replies have merit. Here is another one. Because the cause of the tombstoning is wetting forces that are imbalanced, and one end wets faster or more readily than the other, the 0402 lifts up on that end easily because of its low mass. Incr

Sorry on N2 and tombstone, many other aspects cause tombstones and n2 in itself does not cause tombstones. It can help make other bad variables tip over edge to cause tombstones more than with no N2. Get these right then N2 is not issue.

Are parts always following the same side/direction of tombstone? 1. Run 180 and observe if tombstone moves or remains the same 2. Too much paste under the part - reduce aperture and move it out to the lead. 3. Soak profile for even heat distribution

I would like to know what you are seeing in production. I have read the papers that state fewer tombstones with SAC305 as well as the papers that state more tombstones with SAC305. I am seeing more tombstones with SAC305. I place a lot of 0402 com
