IPC-HDBK-001 w/Amendment 1 Handbook and Guide to Supplement J-STD-001 (Includes J-STD-001B to C Comparison). During fabrication and storage, both components and PWBs will often absorb water. If left in the device, this water will vaporize at solderi

I have a product where an IC is soldered using a stencil which puts down way too much paste. The result is massive bridging. Anyway, one of my coworkers claimed he could eliminate the bridging by baking the circuit board in an oven for 5 min at 90

Neither the Omega meter nor the IC are officially "destructive" tests, but everywhere I worked we treated them that way. The boards were scrapped after the test. The Omega meter can be tested at elevated temps, but the IC sample is extracted at ele

We successfully clean WS flux on 1mm and 1.25mm pitch BGA. For 0.8mm pitch BGA, we use no clean, because we cannot remove the flux residue from under them efficiently. Use ion chromatography testing to be sure it is clean under the BGA. IC is the on

Hi CT, The bake requirements for Moisture Sensitive Components are defined in table 4-1 of the joint IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033A (link for free download at http://www.cogiscan.com, click on MSD Knowledge Base/Introduction). Normally you pick the highest

I can't seem to locate any information/concerns about moisture entrapment in IC packages on the promary side in a double sided SMT assembly using water soluable solder paste when soldering the second side. A typical process would assemble/reflow/cle

Steve, Moisture sensitivity needs to be taken seriously. Being in the commercial end of electronics now, I am using many plastic packages. Unfortunately, moisture sensitivity processing is not black and white and it does require procedures and dis
