Cracking Problems in Low-Voltage Chip Ceramic Capacitors
$begingroup$ 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 ...

High quality tantalum capacitors are likely the only type of components where soldering simulation is the first step during screening. Nevertheless, post-soldering failures of tantalum capacitors do happen and require additional analysis. Popcorning is a well-known effect in plastic encapsulated microcircuits (PEM) and it occurs also
Overheated joints can cause immediate or long-term problems, depending on their characteristics. Issues with Overheated Joints. Excessive heat can affect the solder''s characteristics, preventing it from conducting electricity properly and resulting in excessive resistance or connection issues.
tin/lead solder joint. • The offsets of the change in resistance after bending of PCB and the hysteresis are significantly dependent on the bending displacement . The effects of subsequent bending lead to a similar hysteresis with a "memory effect" related to the bending displacement. It becomes obvious that the effects which occur in the PCB

The sensitivity of to the presence of components moisture during soldering is characterized by the moisture sensitivity level (MSL); however, contrary to PEMs, there is no standard procedure for establishi ng MSL for tantalum capacitors. The effect of absorbed moisture on soldering related degradation
Solder dip test provides thermal shock conditions that closely simulate stresses related to manual soldering. However, clamping of the parts or mounting in a fixture for plunging …
Solutions for Acoustic Noise caused by Multilayer Ceramic ...
A "cold" solder joint results when not all metal surfaces are properly fluxed, brought up to the needed temperature, or if the solder is disturbed during the "plastic phase" as it cools and hardens. When this happens, the surface of the solder joint will appear dull or grainy instead of bright and shiny. Inspect every solder joint to ensure that the solder flowed …
