Hi there, I have a question about using RoHS components on leaded assemblies.
Are there any known issues with different RoHS end cap plating’s going through a leaded process?
We recently had issues with a Yageo cap part # CC0603KRX7R9BB104, during reflow solder would flow up over the end caps onto the body of the capacitor, we solved the problem by switching to the Samsung version of the same cap which we had in stock at the time.
The end terminations of each cap are plated differently the Yageo caps are very course and grainy (tin) as opposed to the Samsung caps which are smooth and shiny (nickel tin), we have had no issues with the Yageo cap on RoHS assemblies.
