1. What is the best way to remove polyurethane conformal coating from selected areas? Your conformal coat material supplier is best equipped to tell you how to remove the coating. Polyurethane conformal coating is not easy to remove. Without in-pu

From our notes, the following is a series of snips from: "Copper Dissolution in Tin" LJ Turbini, PhD, adjunct faculty member, University of Toronto, Materials Science and Engineering, SMT 2/07 As the solder becomes molten, copper from the board diff

Dear Daniel, I assume that these components are moisture-sensitive. If they have absorbed too much moisture prior to reflow you might be experiencing popcorning. This typically shows up as a bulge over the surface of the die, in the center of the p

There are no requirements acceptance criteria for baking of board assemblies. What are your customer requirements? The common reasons people choose to bake PCB are to prevent: * Delamination of multilayer boards * Measles, particularly on double si

In theory, no clean flux residues are electrically benign...period. Here's a good test. Subject the board to some moisture/humidity, and have your circuit designer ohm-out any areas that may be affected by conductive material. Option B: Have a la

Industry-wide, there is no current requirement for baking of bare boards. It adds no value. * IPC-HDBK-001 has guidelines olden times. * IPC-TM-650 has several test methods to determine moisture resistance to both liquid immersion and absorption from

SMT-ypw: Does PWB supplier start to implement PWB drying packaging? B3: YES! The fabrication of the PCB involves a series of wet processing that requires counter-measures to remove moisure. While some of the PCB processes also include bake cycles th

Okay, Another question, if the soldermask in not cured, then it is washed will water ingress (from wash or ambient ) play havoc with capacitance or dielectric of PCB. I mean will my crystal and clock circuits start "Y2K'n" on me. OR will my PCB go

I define First Pass yield without any repairs. But I only consider a PCB to need repair if it fails test. Our boards are inspected before testing and any work done before testing, I consider to be rework and is part of the SMT process.
