I need to wash a bach of boards (25) using di water. I plan on washing them by hand. What would be the best way to go about drying them?

Rinse them clean. Blow them out with some shop air. And let them dry in an oven for awhile.

Thanks for the info! What's a good type of oven for baking boards in?

Only use the shop air if it is clean and dry. I know from experience that one can get water and a little oil from the compressor in the air lines. We are in a drier climate with humidity levels in the 25%-35% range on average. All we do is let the

IPC-A-610D Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 and Table 3.1 specifically mention compressed air as a source of ESD damage

We bake all of our boards at 220 degrees F for two hours. This bakes out all the moisture. Blow off the parts prior to placing in the oven.

Good point on the shop air. Shop air can also generate a tremendous amount of ESD. There are special nozzles you can get to minimize it. We use our shop air mostly for blowing out connectors, and larger components that have a history of trapping w

Hi WRIGHT, When you the standard, I assume you are talking about what kind of set-ups. If so, then RDR is right. Contact a supplier. Most sell the water and also units that can make D.I. water. It depends on your need and size of your cleaner.

We've been using a newly installed DI re-circulating system. It's been a big headache. Mostly understanding what causes our resistivity to be unpredictable. I think I've got a handle on that part now. The system consists of a Carbon,HMR(chealet),Cati
