Good Morning, In a certain number of SMD diodes we have detected what we consider as a crack in the glass body of the diode. This condition was already present in the diodes packaged in a reel, that is, before mounting in the PWAs. What we cannot determine yet is if this condition could be acceptable. Could you help us through your valuable opinions? PD: I have sent 3 photographs to Steve Gregory. Thank you in advance. Juan T.
