If an electronic component with a MSL rating of 1 is exposed to an moist environment greater than the 85% relative humidity to the point where the packaging is wet, what is the risk level of using the device in a lead-free soldering reflow process?

Hi Gary, With plastic BGAs it is more difficult to remove the trapped moisture because of ground planes in the substrate. If your parts have been sitting around for a long time they may be soaked with moisture and in some cases the 48 hours bake cy

Hi ya' Mike! For low temperature baking, IPC-SM-786A (Procedures for Characterizing and Handling of Moisture/Reflow Sensitive IC's) specifies a low temperature bake that can be done in the component shipping packaging...ya' wanna remove the bubb

Rock can contain a little bit of moisture. Bake the rocks for a long time before placing them in solder so they don't explode. The glass marbles may be the safest idea. Or start heating the tank with the solid mass already in there. Did I just write

I am using PWB material Rogers 6002 High Frequency Laminate. The PWBs are assembled. They were washed and will require a bake out. Some people say, no bake out is required for the material. I am getting different reads in test if the CCAs are not

Using a vapor degreaser with a solvent such as Vertrel, Novec, Techspray 1655, Solstice, etc. may work for you but solvents can attack certain plastics. Should be fine for SMT though. This is assuming you are using a no-clean (RMA) type flux, not wat

No one knows what type of board you use. So, assuming you're talking a fairly standard FR4. Q1a. actually, what is max temperature and duration can a bare PCB reflow without any quality problem? A1a. We'd guess your board could take 250*C for may

Thanks for the information Reworkman, We are leaning to the theory of better safe than sorry. I think I'd supply the bags and dessicant just to eliminate manufacturing issues. What temps & times do you ask your boardhouse to bake to? Ours said some
