PCB SHELF LIFE AFTER FIRST REFLOW

Electronics Forum | Mon Feb 09 09:45:16 EST 2015 | saoasasd

Thanks for the support Jax. Our current scenario: Baking - Not allowed for PCBs Washing - Not allowed Heat Cycles - 2 (Bottom and top side). It's a notebook board Our concern is related to solderability because OSP finishing will be seriously imp

| | We had some failures on an IC package that the manufacturer has put down to moisture inside the package, leading to popcorning. | | This seems a bit odd, the package is a PLCC 84 which is quite thick. I have only seen this problem on thin package

| | | | | | | | I have always thought it to be a good practice to wash SMA's with water soluble paste (WS609) soon after reflow. Is there a time limit as to how long a board should sit after reflow before washing said board? For instance; processi

Heat above 53 Celsius kills covid viruses according to the WHO: https://www.who.int/csr/sars/survival_2003_05_04/en/ If you want an added measure of safety, you could bake your boards before packing them. Fundamentally its going to be an issue of

Soldering problem with Au plating PCB

Electronics Forum | Mon Jan 26 13:13:07 EST 2009 | rgduval

We've had this same problem with the solder wicking to the component terminations. However, in our case, we did not see the pads turning a silver-white color...rather, they exhibited a tarnishing/darkening of the gold. We determined that we had som

Wavesolder PCBs encounter pinholes

Electronics Forum | Fri Jul 23 05:14:40 EDT 2004 | greg york

Hi Thomas Ever considered that this maybe HASL flux left on PCB as this is extremely hygroscopic and has heat transfer fluids that cannot be baked out unless you go to a temperature of around 600C. One way of testing is to leave iron tip on joint an

Electronics Forum | Mon Feb 09 09:00:17 EST 2015 | jax

Outside the MSD issues stated already (and I cannot provide a exact time not knowing multiple factors like Humidity levels, temps, exposure times, etc...) OSP might be the very worst finish to use in this scenario of side 1 / store on a shelf / side

Voiding in uBGA's w/blind uvia's in pads

Electronics Forum | Thu Nov 22 12:56:12 EST 2001 | tony_sauve

Thanks for the comments & suggestions. Here's some info garnered from a telecon w/the PCB Fab house: -the blind via's extend from layer 2-17...this was a revelation. The info from our customer was that the via's only extended down 2 layers. Did I men

Solder mask discoloration

Electronics Forum | Wed Aug 17 13:57:27 EDT 2005 | ppwlee

We have encountered what appears to be mask discoloration after wave soldering. The areas of concern coincide with the areas that were exposed selectively by fixtures during wave soldering, dominated by one date code of PCB with a slightly different
