3a ANSI/J-STD-001: * Temperature and Humidity: 18-30°C, 30-70%RH ** If out of range, shall verify electrostatic discharge control program according to ANSI/ESD S20-20 is adequate. ** For process control, more restrictive temperature and humidity lim

Hi Mark, If you are a user of stencils, you already know that there are literally hundreds of stencil manufacturers out there. If you found one that will allow such hot temperatures, I would be interested in learning who it is. However, I have only

Per ESD Handbook TR 20.20 paragraph 5.3.15 Humidity "Humidity is beneficial in all ESD Control Program Plans. Contact and separation of dry materials generates greater electrostatic charges than moist materials because moisture provides conductivity

You�re correct about J-001. It�s interesting though, I find no references to controlling temperature and humidity as an element of an electrostatic discharge control program in the following: * ANSI/ESD S20-20 * "ESD Program Management" by Ted Dan

All of the discussion of "environmental controls" are a matter of degree, dependent on the requirements of the product that you manufacture. For example: shops assembling under-the-hood products have different requirements than shops making garage d

| I know that static concerns are very important in your work. Are static concerns eliminated by the antic-static devices you wear or which are in your environment, or do the hand tools you use, such as picks, tweezers and brushes, need to be anti-st

No we do not use such a storage unit. We say our preferred environment is within: * 30%RH / 84�F * 30%RH / 72�F * 70%RH / 78�F * 70%RH / 68�F J-001C says [words to the effect of]: * At 30%RH and below you�d better make sure your ESD control program

Ashok: Haven't unloaded that ESD Coordinator job yet have you? Smocks: Don't work, they're hot, and no one likes them, but they put up with them (sort of). Now if they knew they didn't work, all the customer PR in the world wouldn't help. The bi

Victor, I am wondering why you are keeping the RH as low as 32% ?? The lower you go, the higher your ESD problems will be. The voltages generated at about 40% are roughly halved when you reach 55% I believe that an acceptable level is about 55%-65

In the past, we have spoken [typed?] about controlling the temperature and humidity of our plants. And it's probably good to do that from solder process control, ESD danger reduction, and human factors stand-points. We are looking to lower our ener
