Maybe more baking time is needed. Topside board temp too low. Moisture trapped in board. Top of through hole capped by component and trapping flux. http://www.speedlinetech.com/electrovert/electrovert-troubleshooting/index.htm

Hi Prem, try take a few caps and bake them before assembling them to the board to see whether this problem goes away. Its a common problem these tentalum caps can outgas if there's moisture trapped within. Once verified that moisture is the culprit

Hi Simond, The baking process is likely to remove any moisture after the cleaning process. We wouldn't want any moisture trapped as this might cause delamination if the package is subject to subsequent heating/reflow process. Hence there's a staging

What is the correct method to bake or cure the component?Standard baking practise by us is to place the units into oven at 125 �C for 8 hrs directly. But I was told that the correct baking practise is to cool down the Baking Oven to Room temp and onl

You also need to get with the PCB manufacturer. Their is a lot that can go wrong with that many layers. If the manufacture is trapping that much moisture. you may have a hard time baking it out. Dave and Graham are right about the time and energy. It

Dream, Sound's to me like your PCB supplier has process problems, probably outgassing or such from trapped moisture / contaminant's. I thoink it's time you called in your vendor for a chat. JohnW

Hi System Steve, What is a solvent cleaner over water wash? Solvent first and then rinse with water? And why do they feel the need to bake the boards? Do they think trapped moisture will cause board damage?

The white haze is definitely an indication of moisture being trapped in uncured or improperly applied solder mask. You can verify this by heating up the board using a heat gun on an area of the board with the white haze, and if it clears up that is t

Pete, Top-side temp might be an issue. What's the easiest way to check it? I seem to recall some thermal decals that we used to use a couple of jobs ago. I spoke with the flex manufacturer, and they recommended 4 hours at 250 degrees pre-process
