i just did a report on damaged boards from this kind of treatment. Components get rubbed off - sometimes the component just breaks, but often they take pad and track with them.

I have seen these types of defects, but the finger has been pointed at the end of the oven in SMT. Which is also very possible. I like the screwdriver idea. Thanks, B

"I just need better reasons than it [...] increases defect probability." If that's not enough, you have bigger problems. Have you seen any rework/repair that was generated by this handling gem? Does your company profess to build to IPC specificati

Is there any criteria or limitations for SMT pcba's? We have boards in stock that we built and a customer wants to know what our procedure is for "storing" these boards which will have a few through-hole modules soldered to them after they get pulled

There is no standard. On the web, you can find shelf life estimates for various types of solderability protection on bare boards. These estimates won't translate directly to the storage of assembled boards, because assembled boards [and the solderabi
