N2 PPM vs %RH? With a firm grasp of the obvious, reflow oven manufacturers rig N2 ovens differently than non-N2 ovens. The N2 displaces O2. Usually N2 oven monitor something or other to give an indication of N2 ppm. %RH really isn't part of the eq

A baking oven over 100 C will be at zero humidity. Do you really need to store pcbs/devices at 200 C...this will surely harm some products ? IPC 33B01 allows storage of MSDs in a dry cabinet at less then 5%.....these can operate at room temp or 40 /

In an oven over 100 C any moisture will escape through vents. There will not be huge volumes of moisture in the oven when you are baking components so it should easily escape through vents / holes in the system leaving you with a humidity of near zer

Praveen, Once you find out the MS level of your components, you will need to track the exposure time from when the parts are initially removed from their dry bags, through test, programming, taping, and during subsequent dry storage and use of thes

Hey all, i'm hoping to get some feedback from the community on baking process versus a dry box. current process we have for rework of PCBs is to perform a 16 hour bake cycle on hardware before BGA rework is performed. however this process is ineffi

We keep our MSDs in a dry cabinet. We only bake if we suspect we have a moisture issue usually PCBs or large BGAs and then it goes back in the dry cabinet.

When baking parts at 90C that require 15 hours bake time with parts that require 25 hours bake time, is it acceptable to open the oven and remove the former (15 hours) parts and then continue the 25 hours cycle for the remainder of the parts in the o

As soon as the oven temp falls below 40 C and the RH rises above 5% then you need to consider that the floor clock will start. Long term storage of devices in an oven is not good for them as it reduced their solderability and can affect their perform

| I've had good luck with cabinets sold by Stanley Storage Systems (800-523-2449). This is a sturdy, steel cabinet (no windows) that is intended for nitrogen purge. It's less expensive than the specialty acrylic cabinets sold by other companies. W
