Does anyone have any experience with multilayer ceramic 1206 capacitors turning into low value resistors? These are rework capacitors (manually soldered) between a PTH pin and a #22 ga wire. What are the possible causes of failure? Is flux absorption into the ceramic a possibility? My strong suspicion is that they are being damaged by heat during the rework process. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
