OSP has limited elevated temperature exposure capability. Couple that with the fact that solvents (IPA in particular) will remove the OSP. The more material you loose the higher the chances for pad oxidation. We ran an experiment with board washin

IPA is hydroscopic.

NASA recommends baking a PCB for a minimum of 4 hours at 93+/- 5.5�C before conformally coating. [NASA-STD-8739.1, �Workmanship Standard for Staking and Conformal Coating of Printed Wiring Boards and Electronic Assemblies,� August 6, 1999]

Try immersing the assembly in IPA for 30 minutes. IPA is hydroscopic ans will drive off most of the water. Dry the assembly. Then bake at 110°C for 2 hours.

You're correct that JEDEC J-STD-033 defines baking condidtions for moisture sensitive components. Why do you want to bake assemblies after cleaning? Search the fine SMTnet Archives for threads like: http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Me

Shanelo Technologies Given that isopropyl alcohol [IPA] is produced by combining water and propene. How does soaking a board in water and a flammable liquid drive off water?

But the boards and parts on the boards are also hygroscopic(no not a typo I did a search on hydroscopic and it is not a word the actual word is hygroscopic look it up if you don't believe me) so if you have two hygroscopic materials which one wins?
