hi' i need advise on immersion silver PCb shelf life. 1) what is the shelf life for Immersion silver PCB? 2) iF PCB expire, can we bake the immersion PCB? what temp & duration? 3) How long can we keep the pCB again after rebaking? (with vacuum seal)

We'd reject the boards because: * Vacuum seal is punctured. * HIC is expired. One of the nice things about immersion coatings is that the fab can rework the coating. You cannot do that with other coatings. Finally, every HIC that we investigated c

hi Jon, does it mean the protective layer is coated after the immersion silver process? if we need to bake the PCb due to moisture issue, then we can not hold the pCB long due to the missing protective layer even with vacuum seal environment

In addition,how to deal with the misprint immersion Ag PCB?Now,we just remove the paste,clean it,and exposed in air for 2 hours,and then put to use.

The shelf life of immersion silver is 6 to 12 months in good storage conditions. The finish is usually coated with a protective layer that inhibits oxidation (like with copper OSP). Care must be taken when handling the boards as the protective la

Charly: Why do you "need to bake the PCb due to moisture issue", if you're not going to use the board? Why bake the board, just to put it back in storage, absorb moisture, and require baking again?

actually, i received a shipment from supplier where the vacuum seal was puntual and the HIC is out of order, the supplier ask me to bake and keep back into the store, but i worry is there any quality impact if i do so?

Imm silver holds-up to multiple thermal cycles very well. The things, we guess, are happening to make imm silver tough to solder after heating and sitting are: * Oxidation of the silver. * Reduction of the co-deposited organic anti-tarnish [used in

| We have mixed to negative feelings about Omikron, but I beileve it is due to problems with the board fabricator rather than the process itself. When done properly, our Omikron boards have had very good solderability. However, we have had several
