From "Assembly" magazine, "Moisture-Sensitive Devices" [ http://www.assemblymag.com/articles/85082-moisture-sensitive-devices ] ... a description of the moisture sensitive device problem. I agree with Evtimov * During board assembly solder process,

Baking boards to remove moisture takes a lot more energy than you'd think. Following on with this, Chris Hunt from NPL gave a presentation at IPC APEX 2012 about the results of his research ["Impedance Testing for Sensitivity to Delamination in Print

Hello Because of the cold weather, we had some troubles with drying out of printed solder paste on the pcb's. The relative humidity in the air declined below of 20%. We have a process window of store the printed board for maximum 24 hours, but with

Hi all, by reading along those thread (SOT23) and Tan outgassing I learned plenty of things. My first time approacing this kind of Q$A Forum, very intesting tech communication way. Any way, the path of magnetism effect was chosen when time ago we met

You might try to complete all your soldering within a 72 hour or less time frame. For all intents treat your board like a moisture sensitive component after you have baked and completed SMT reflow. Wash, blow dry, and go direct to stuffing and com

Here's a link to the article that Loco references in the above post: http://www.smtnet.com/library/files/upload/DevelopingaReliable.pdf The table seems to be taking a simplistic approach. J-STD-020C, Table 4-2 lists nine catagories of MSL classific

Hi James, it could be the problem is due to residual of cleaner media entrapped under low gap of QFP 208 and 0,5 mm lead pitch. I remember in the past we had random problems of failure at test after board wash off process (DI Water wash). We met

I'm trying to help one of our remote sites solve a problem with a warped PBGA. The corners are lifted, creating columnar joints and the central balls are sometimes shorting. I've verified that it's not popcorning and I've got samples going to the l
