The follwing is from the Technet archives, per IPC's Jack Crawford. I dug it up during some investigation of a supplier's issues with humidity in an Asian plant: There is support for this in IPD-HDBK-001 w/Amendment 1 Handbook and Guide to Suppleme

If you are satisfied with the apertures, then you need to check placement pressure, plant humidity, and the reflow profile. If the placement pressure is too great, it will separate minute portions of the solder from the pad. When the solder reflo

It should also be noted that if you can control your humidity, you can reduce the chance of static build-up. Do you monitor the humidity in your facility? This alone, can be the greatest contributor to static build-up and ESD damage. But back to t

| I have been asked to supply a maximum shelf life for our assemblied PCB's. I realise this is dependent on so many factors- temperature, humidity, no of layers etc. But does anyone have a formulae for calculating shelf life, or does anyone know of a

| I need an evaluation process to prove to a customer that our no-clean process does not leave excessive residue? Any ideas? Wayne, Find out your customer's concern about the residue. Residue can be a pretty ambiguous term. Is their concern activi

Ian, First, I baked the parts at 125C for 48 hours and check the weight Second, I soaked the parts above 30C and 60% for 96 hours and check the weight Calculate the weight gain, suppose only moisture add to the parts during soaking, say a Third, dry

Hi, I am a Quality person (Metalwork fabrication and System assembly)but have not had any experience of SMT before. I am trying to put some SPC in place for reflow and others and have come across something I do not understand. Our current SPC Chart c

Why a clean room? Or do you mean an environmental room to control temp and RH? Any way, to answer you question, your wave and oven can care less about RH. Just don't keep them at 100% RH. Static can easily be handled with lower RH and proper grou

Guys, So I recently started working for a small CM in Southern N.H. We currently use 2 Magic Chef Mini wine friges to store the solder paste (63/37, RoHS). I've been monitoring the room temp (and humidity) and the frige temps all this week. The pro

Thanks for your reply. This production lot is already finished. We produced in 2 lots, first was no-clean (and was ok), 2nd lot was cleaned (aqua based), and I need to look into the cleaning further. Since it's all finished I can't get parts from se
