You are incorrect!
IT completely has to do with tantalum caps.
Tantalum caps are not the right cap for these electrolytic designed pads. Fact.
These pads are designed for SMT Electrolytic caps.(much thinner leads)
Tantalum caps are designed for much wider pads to accommodate the wider soldering lead surfaces on each end.
Even if you don't over solder, you can still bridge traces on ether side of the tantalum cap.
(if traces are exposed after your De-Cap and clean up)
I am not knocking the SOB's, I still have them in my inventory and will still install them as long as there are no exposed traces.
