Ooooo, much better. Tough to say, because of all the variables [ie, different materials, moisture level, temperature, etc]. Plastic encapsulated devices, especially IC, absorb water from the air, which is violently released during soldering. Typica

You should be baking above 100C/212F to ensure that you're driving moisture out of the board. Four hours at 225F is usually enough to dry out most multilayer PWBs.

I used to bake parts before. After I discovered the drying cabinets, that is not a concern anymore. I strongly recommend you to get one of these and try it. It dries them out pretty quick and keeps very low humidity all the time. No heat applied.

You�re correct. This is a messy situation. Do not store components at the bake temperature longer than the time required to dry out the units for use in the reflow. Long storage times at elevated temperatures can cause soldering problems and the

| I recieved a pack of sensitive IC's that said they needed to be baked befor certain processes. If I need to do rework, do I have to bake prior to single soldering of these IC's. Or can I just place one as needed by hand with out baking? Any info

I've wondered about the 5% spec myself. Section 4.2 points out that "The oven used for baking shall be vented and capable of maintaining the required temperature at less then 5% RH.", leading me to believe this spec even applies to ovens used to bak

Thanks for the tips... found out the ex-employee guy, had pre-bake conditioning put into the process flow, as this pcb is made of polymide material, that is reputed to have historical patterns in thermal sensitivity. To avoid "thermal damaging" the

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
