Hi Christopher, To my knowledge, heat seal along will not provide you the desire condition. Currently, we're using vacuum sealer to reseal all MSD restock items. If you have variety of package and constantly need to reseal the MSD parts, I'd like to

Per our staff here at ACI......... Higher Temperatures maybe necessary to achieve good solder process results. The alloy formed when HASL coating protects the copper is the same as that when OSP provide protection. Temperatures may be increased to im

There is the IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 that addresses moisture sensitive components. Go to http://www.ipc.org for the standard. Your factory/storage area environment will dictate exposure times allowable. Be mindful of temperature and humidity changes- lik

Left to its own devices the plastic used to seal your parts will take-on moisture in the air. When you heat there parts the water in the part expands and can damage the part, if not properly demoisturized. The instustry standards for controlling su

Could it be cold solder? Are there parts nearby that might be soaking up lots of heat, or maybe lots of internal grounding near that corner? Once I saw something similar except it was on two different assemblies. Each time it was on the side of the

Popcorning is the common designation for defects related to the moiture sensitivity of plastic molded components, like PBGAs. The plastic body of these parts will absorb moisture from the ambiant atmosphere on your factory floor. If a critical level

Hello Christopher You should do just fine without vacuum evacuation of the bag. Just squeeze out any excess air. Just be sure that you use active desiccant (I.E. fresh or baked). This assumes normal environmentals. I suggest that you download the

Is anyone having trouble with PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) cover tape used with embossed plastic tape? I am placing 0402 components out of embossed plastic tape with PSA cover tape. The feeders gum up, the take up reels are impossible to remov

In a former life, we used hi temp solder. I've heard of adhesive and taping methods, we just never used them. We too had a "golden" assembly that we would use for routine profiling. Our requirement was to attach a TC to the lowest thermal mass, hi
