Hello folks,

I have heard from a few different sources that capacitors are particularly vulnerable to the lead-free assembly process.

I can think of (and speculate on) a number of reasons why this would be the case but would appreciate getting observations from the "trenches"

Which types of capacitors are seeing the greatest failure rates and what remedies are suggested?

Thanks in advance for any responses

Best to all,
Joe ---------------------------------------------------
