From what you are saying................If I hear ya correctly - There is no "Proctective" on the Pads (OSP, HASL....) You will be hard pressed soldering to bare copper. This can not be right. My suggestion- go polyimide with electroptical connecti

We use Arlink for our portable SMT work surface. http://www.arlink.com. Now for question number 2: "Are portable SMT workbenches out there with stencil storage? " I hope you are referring to frameless stencils or even better Micro Stencils- A hollow

I had a couple of Mydata's for a number of years. I loved the software, it was easy to use, easy to program, easy to learn and very flexible. It's design is suited more for "batch" style production, rather than inline production. The placement is rel

Your Ionograph and Zero-ion Values are set by you. There is no raw pass of fail criteria only the limits you set up. Ionograph is great for bare board resistivity (salt) test just as a pass fail for incoming inspection but this is all per your facto

Moisture would be my main concern. Even though components are plastic, they can absorb moisture. Moisture is also detrimental to the the solder itself. The water droplets that are left behind (evaporated even) could cause problems (i.e. chlorides).
