We've been soldering leadfree components for maybe 15 years. We'd be surprised not to be able to store components for at least a year, not that we purposely do that. Component fabricator process determine the maximum storage time for components. M

Q1. Can anyone tell me if there is a procedure for storing raw PCB's? A1. Yes, there are thousands of procedures for storing raw PCB. Why so many? Everyone writes their own procedure. Generally, they say: * Boards require individual separation and p

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

p.s. IPC-PE-740 has no information on this.

If PCB supplier has stored PCB in complete IPC specified storage condition and let say they kept for 2 Years. Are these PCB still good for use? I understand about shelf life and baking procedure but I am not sure how long PCB are good for use if they

Hello, Are there any rules for PCB drying (baking) before assembly; Date code criteria, finish process on PCB, storage conditions.. ect. I know some assemblers that are baking all PCB (not ENTEK!) as default before assembly, is it realy nessesary? i

Jedec J-STD-033A for components. For the Fab and assy, you can check IPC-PE-740, Para. 1.5.4

Phil, here is why "dry cabinet storage may not stop the clock" : The moisture diffusion inside a component is actually quite complex. When previously exposed components are returned to dry storage, the moisture gradient that is already absorbed in
