Place your untinned or barely tinned soldering tip on the joint (without flux), wait for the residual solder on the joint to phase change into a liquid, then feed solder into the JOINT, not the soldering tip, letting the joint melt the solder as you push into it. Normally, solder has rosin aka flux inside the core, so no additional flux needed.
Abstract: Negative wetting is a common phenomenon in SMT wave solder process, especially happened when the size of the component is big, such as electrolyze capacitors. The cap of the electrolyze capacitors is like a heat sink and it lowers down the lead temperature of the top of the component during SMT wave solder process and that often causes negative wetting
the capacitors pass through the oven, the temperature is slowly raised in phases to the point that the solder reflows and attaches the capacitor to the board. The idea is that less damage is done to the capacitor by slowly increasing temperature. JPL Standard Hand Soldering is a process of attaching surface mount devices to a circuit

It is found that the popcorn occur temperatures between 218 to 241°C depending on moisture soak condition, but not at the peak temperature of the reflow process.
If you do get solder wick, DO NOT drag the solder wick around, solder wick is supposed to be put over the solder you want to remove and by applying the hot iron tip over the wick (a tiny drop of solder on the iron tip will make the heat transfer better) the copper mesh will heat and the flux on the mesh will become liquid and acid and attach
Presumably a capacitor fracturing due to thermal stress, differential thermal coefficient, trapped moisture in a small pre-existing defect etc. could have a similar effect to
A new phenomena: anomalous transients; S&Q system developed for MnO2 capacitors is not sufficient due to new failure and degradation mechanisms. Decrease of C in CPTCs is greater than in MnO2 capacitors. Soldering increases ESR in most types of capacitors, but the level of variations is lot-related. Soldering results in drying off
Process limitations of tantalum capacitors are very similar to other epoxy resin molded components such as transistors, diodes and ICs. Each surface mount soldering process uses different heat transfer techniques which impose different soldering time and temperature limitations on the capacitors. Wave Soldering
- optimizing solder amount - ensuring accurate placement - providing equal heating to both terminations during soldering. Mount the capacitor as soon as possible after applying solder paste. If the interval between applying solder paste and mounting a capacitor is too long, solderability may decrease due to drying and hardening of the solder paste.

A cold solder joint is a soldering phenomenon that occurs when the required minimum wetting temperature between the brazing material and the base metal is not reached, or when the metallurgical reaction fails to proceed adequately
The main reasons for cold soldering are: insufficient wetting temperature, external interference during solder cooling, and oxidation of solder pads or component pins. Insufficient wetting temperature refers to the electronic components and
$begingroup$ Your definition of cold solder is wrong. Cold solder joints is when the boards are assembled and the solder is not melted completely during assembly. This can cause an incomplete connection, but is unrelated to the scenario you described. I''d bet the burnt components are unrelated to cold solder, and are probably a result of

From these observations we understand the following series of mechanisms to be the underlying causes of graping: • When a large deposit of solder is present, the flux can withstand a long profile because the ratio of surface area to
3. Capacitor failure caused by unreasonable pad design (1) The design of the pad is unreasonable, as shown in below Figure, when there is a hole in the pad. Solder will lose (there is such design phenomenon in the product), which causes welding defects due to the asymmetry of solder at both ends of capacitor.
The client had an odd soldering problem: a type of chip capacitor was jumping about an inch to the side during reflow. they are not always presented as solderability defects. For example, “cold” solder (a condition that, as has been pointed out here from time to time, has nothing to do with lack of heat) is not presented in
You also have capacitors, like this little ceramic capacitor, which has no polarity. And that one doesn''t really matter which way you put it into the circuit. So we''re going to go ahead and start

Terminal solder dip test Four types of large-size capacitors from Gr.3, Gr.6, Gr.12, and Gr.14 with ten samples each were used for this test. One terminal of each capacitor was dipped for 5 seconds into a pot of molten solder heated initially to 300°C and then the part left to cool at room temperature for 5 minutes. This solder dip
If a large capacitor is accidentally dropped on a hard surface, it should not be used even if it appears intact. Soldering Attachment Process. PREHEAT is a critical step of any soldering process. the circuit assembly should be preheated as shown in the recommended profiles to within 65 to 100°C of the maximum soldering temperature.
1. Cold Solder Joint (dull joint): is defined as solder connections exhibiting poor wetting and possessing a grayish, porous appearance after soldering. This is a phenomena that can be associated with all processes. One cause of this would be insufficient heat present to reflow the solder adequately. It may also be due to
Capacitors can fail due to various factors, ranging from environmental conditions to electrical stresses and manufacturing defects.

Rotate the board so it feels comfortable. collect a blob of solder about 1 mm deep on the tip of the iron; touch the solder to one side of the capacitor and hold it for up to 2 seconds.
The adequacy of the soldering iron can be judged by the amount of time needed to reflow the solder. Beginning at 650 °F (343 °C), adjust the temperature so that the solder reflows within 1.5 s to 3 s. - If the solder reflow occurs in less than 1 s to 1.5 s,

The effect is due to a much higher sensitivity of MLCCs to the cold (from hot to cold) compared to hot (from hot to cold) thermal shocks To prevent this type of cracking the boards . should be cooled slowly, preferably by natural cooling, or at C to 3 ºC/sec., to a rate not exceeding 2 º temperatures below 60
Problem: Cold Solder joints. Things to check for: - “Cold” Solder connections which are dull in appearance and not shiny in any way. Such connections are always suspect and need to have solder re-flowed into them. - Loose wires in globs of solder. Most probably the electronic continuity is weak or non-existent. Problem: Dead Battery. Things
The aim of this paper is to extend the understanding of solder beading (referring to larger sized solder balls) of surface-mounted electrolytic capacitors.

When soldering in manual mode, does not employ the preheating phase. When soldering the tantalum capacitor, excessively repeated heating was applied to remove cold joints. The temperature of the soldering iron tip is set to 500 degrees or higher. This can solder components quickly, but it is very easy to cause the chip component to fail
Capacitors with nickel barrier terminations, which have a solder coat over the nickel, (or solder coated terminations) are restricted to the reflow temperature of the solder. Temperature cycling causes a change in the mean interatomic spacing of the atoms in the crystal lattice, due to variations in thermal energy.
Capacitors with such terminations will survive molten solder at 260°C with no discernible leaching effect for several minutes versus less than twenty seconds for the best Pd-Ag alloys (since nickel is relatively insoluble in Sn, Pb or Ag and therefore acts as a barrier to solder leaching).
The solder terminations also expand at a greater rate (25–30 ppm/°C) than the ceramic part and exert an annular tensile force on the edges of the component. In severe cases, when a large surface mounted capacitor has been subjected to a sudden thermal shock, a clearly visible elliptical crack may form on the upper surface of the chip (Figure 1).
More specifically, the use of incorrect soldering techniques like lack of solder coverage, excessive amount of solder applied, or incongruent soldering angle can lead to the formation of cold solder joints. 5. Rapid Cooling
If the solder cools too much solder too fast for reasons like no preheating of the components or interference of cool air, it will not connect well as little solder alloy is with the surface parts, resulting in a cold soldered joint taking a sufficient amount of time. 6. Component Movement During Cooling
