My first posting was not very clear -- sorry. Let me try again. What I want to know is: can I eliminate the drying (baking) process completely IF I know that the good parts (i.e., those not being reworked) are going to stay under some threshold tem

Michael, By the way, the default bake duration should be 48 hours at 125C instead of 24 hours. The shorter duration was based on a standard that is now obsolete. The current revision of J-STD-033 includes a variable duration bake table, based on co

Dason, Please be aware that weight gain is only a very crude estimate of the component moisture content. This is only accurate when the moisture is uniformly distributed inside the component (which is actually never). This measurement is usually no

Amazing in today's technology that people still bake because "that's the way we've alawys done it". Baking is a band aid for poor manufacturing of the PCB. Moisture can become trapped between the layers during buildup. This moisture when it contacts

Are you considering baking due to moisture exposure? Not all OSPs are created equal. I would check with your PWB fabricator about dry times and effects on their OSP finish. After you get it, I'd still try just one PWB for bake-dry out and check solde

Therein lies the issue. Unknown storage conditions before we received the PCBs, date codes just expired (2 weeks), first article is de-lam city! Had a bad feeling about it. Have read some studies showing that there is no linear tie in of visual cha

Just wondering what others are doing as far MSD parts. We keep most of our parts in the dry cabinet before use. Most bags are openend and have passed the recomendation as far as mounting within a certain time. We have had defects with boards that

It depends. What is: * Storage environment and period * Board laminate, epoxy, and copper thickness of PTH * Down stream process * Etc FR4 0.062" thick boards absorb between 0.08 to 0.1%Wt of moisture within a 24 hour period, and 0.2 to 0.23%Wt in
