Sep 01, 2010· Research was done by using a 0–90 V voltage test, a 100% RH moisture absorption test, and the standard 85/85 test. Results show that a reflow process weakens the characteristics of tantalum capacitors and also affects their moisture absorption. Several reflow processes have a greater effect. Possible reasons are discussed in this paper.
