Hello Jack, Recently we have a problem with tombstone components. Operators were told to repair them by adding solder to the lifted side of the capacitors, so there is a solder connection but one side of the component remains lifted . In my opinion this is not an acceptable condition because the capacitors do not meet the requirements of dimension J - Minimum End Overlap. The other Quality Inspector disagrees on the bases that connection has been made by solder. I wonder what is your opinion in the matter? I would appreciate any input.
