Can any one help me with a solution to this problem,
we have recently experenced board failures because of a contamination
across various sm  capacitors which first looks like a splat of black paint
which run diagonally across the cap, under a microscope it looked like
fern leaves.
Our boards are wave soldered and w edo not clean after solder flow.

Regards
Jim Hedderick
