**enable spurious "OUT OF OFFICE AUTOREPLY" rejection filter**
Howard,
I expect that this defect is "caused" by the pick and place operation.  Many times the p-n-p turns on vacuum to the pickup nozzle before it contacts the part in the pocket (as it is traveling "down" to get the part).  Small parts like 0805s may "jump" up to the vacuum nozzle, and some perform a half gainer on the way up.  Others don't move til the nozzle actually contacts the part and forms a vacuum with it, and are thus picked and placed "right".
 
The sideways parts block enough (if not all) of the vacuum nozzle for the machine to still think it has a part there, the width vs height of the part isn't enough to trigger the vision alignment system (if in use) to call out a reject or unalignable part, and it gets placed into the solder paste.
 
Hope this helps,
Hal

Technetters,

I'm not sure if others see this situation, but it's a somewhat rare occurrence when we see some resistors, like 0805's, soldered on their sides.  Though it's not a defect per the conditions of IPC-A-610, I am still curious as to the root cause.  I don't know if they somehow get placed on their side or if they get pulled up that way during soldering.  Our P&P machine is a Mydata MY15, we use no-clean with reflow in air, HASL boards, 6 mil stencil w/ homeplate apertures.  

Any thoughts?
