OK, this is easy. You say HIGH fall out, so I can assume 25 or 50%? If so, run 10 without the heat gun and 10 with. This should show you if the heat gun process is the cause or not. If the relay is a surface mount, hand solder them on. If it's a

Take note that contrary to popular belief, it is not acceptable to assume that the floor life clock will be temporarily stopped when components are put back in dry storage following exposure to ambient conditions exceeding one hour. ... why doesn�t

Dear Mike, As you might have noticed from the labels on the dry bags, the maximum floor life is specified by the component manufacturer and it can range from 1 year (level 2) down to a few hours after mandatory bake (level 6). This limit is based o

This guideline is actually in the IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-033, May 1999 (although it is not spelled out very clearly, thus the current confusion in the industry). The technical reason is that moisture diffusion is a very slow process. Once parts ha

Details, details: 1) The metal shell is part of the component body. The base metal is austenitic stainless steel (304) that has been plated with 90/10 tin-lead over nickel (semi-bright). 2) The entire part (leads and shell) is elevated by the mass o

Larry Elaborating on the specific question, yes, the volatile solvents in the flux can and will evaporate. Evaporate completely in any reasonable amount of time? Probably not. What tends to happen is that the exposed paste dries on the surface and

Marc: Please be more explicit. * When you say, "parts have a metal shell"; are you talking about the component leads or the component body? What is the metal, what is it appearance, and what are it's implications? * When you say, "the parts have a

The problem about covering it with glue (without using solder) is that the components might dislodge by a miniscule amount underneath the glue. So maybe the contact points will disconnect. I'm not sure if this will be a real problem, but if so it wo

Does anyone have any data or views on recommended shelf life / Date of Manufacture for components ?? Regards, Chris.
