Provided physical specs of the component will accommodate the wave solder
environment (flux, heat, immersion in molten solder...) they should survive
with no problem.

We currently reflow and wave our devices without issue.

Solder pallets are another possible solution.

Happy to expand on either, off line.

Call with questions.

        Subject:  [TN] Tantalum Caps

        Technetters,

        I have a product that has Tantalum Caps, having them waved would
make our
        life easier, the board has some TH components we currently hand
solder and
        that could be waved. I know that there might be some reason not to
wave
        Tantalums, but I am not sure. Can Tantalum Caps be wave soldered?,
Has
        anyone done this?

        Any responses would be appreciated
