| I know that static concerns are very important in your work. Are static concerns eliminated by the antic-static devices you wear or which are in your environment, or do the hand tools you use, such as picks, tweezers and brushes, need to be anti-st

No we do not use such a storage unit. We say our preferred environment is within: * 30%RH / 84�F * 30%RH / 72�F * 70%RH / 78�F * 70%RH / 68�F J-001C says [words to the effect of]: * At 30%RH and below you�d better make sure your ESD control program

Ashok: Haven't unloaded that ESD Coordinator job yet have you? Smocks: Don't work, they're hot, and no one likes them, but they put up with them (sort of). Now if they knew they didn't work, all the customer PR in the world wouldn't help. The bi

Victor, I am wondering why you are keeping the RH as low as 32% ?? The lower you go, the higher your ESD problems will be. The voltages generated at about 40% are roughly halved when you reach 55% I believe that an acceptable level is about 55%-65

In the past, we have spoken [typed?] about controlling the temperature and humidity of our plants. And it's probably good to do that from solder process control, ESD danger reduction, and human factors stand-points. We are looking to lower our ener

Hello Ashok If you are talking about the thousands of volts that is often generated by either simply unrolling the tape to apply or when it is removed from the board after soldering you don't have a lot of choice since it is an insulator. Ionization

Benji: I tend to agree with you that assemblers shouldn't wear make-up. I'm unsure what first level assemblers are tho. I've been down that finger cot/glove route ... 1 If someone is going to smear facial or cosmetic oil on a board, they can do
