JDumont, Baking in tubes is possible. Max temp for tubes is around 50 degrees C. Some will withstand more than others. You would have to do some experimenting on the tubes that you do have to see what temp they can take. JEDEC 033-A stated that a le

Is anyone doing this? What is the proper temp to bake tubes at? Is there an easier solution? Thanks in advance

I'm having trouble picturing your setup, but can you put kapton on the columns? Or heat shrink tubing?

Investing in a taping machine is worth the money. Just saving you the aggravation of dealing with tubes is worth it. Most placement machine handle tape & reel much better than tube feeders. everytime you placement machine is stopped, it's costing you

We've got away with 90C before, however at 120C they tend to bananna and it isn't easy to remove all of the product then, and some of the legs get damaged (we always received waffle packs then one day tubes arrived & the operator baked as usual....).

Let me explain. At 125 degrees C, the oven is above the boiling point of water. It will be vaporized and eventually be vented from the oven. However at temperatures of 90 degrees c and lower the relative humidity becomes an issue. For the life of me,
