Hi, Can anyone help explain the benefits/disadvantages of bareboard pcb baking, as part of the pre-heat conditioning, before the bareboard pcb use in SMT production run? The pcb board is 200mm x 240mm panelized pcb board, and has 28 smaller pcb boa

Hello: Pre-baking laminates should only be performed:(1) to meet contractual agreements or (2) in response to an actual defect that can be traced to PWB water absortion. Besides the fact that a pre-bake is an enormous process "bottleneck," it also

Hi, I am also facing the same probelm. I assembly a substrate with a thickness of 0.30mm and the board warp after reflow. If I bake the substrate at 125 Deg C for 2 hours will it help to solve this problem? Thanks

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

TK, Hope you got it right only for this round of assemblies. Well, passing through a Reflow belt is not an ultimate process to dry circuit cards & take out moisture from Solder finished layers. First of all, if the packs were not unsealed (even s

Dason, I apologize if some of the information sounds redundant but I don't think I explained my point very well (and the standard can get really confusing at times). I definitely agree with using C-SAM to look for internal defects. My only advise i

As a large coating house we use 1B73 daily and we have very few issues with bubbles. We very rarely bake it as the air cure is so short. Also, we only use thinner 73 vice 521. Another question would be; how is it being applied? How thick are you appl
