Hello, we use an oven to dry our MSL components after the floor lifes expires. The oven works at 40°C / 0.1% RH. The plan is to upgrade the oven from 40°C to 60°C to shorten the duration of the process. I have found a number of articles mentioning

I'll answer the easy part. If you put low temperature trays in the oven at 120C, they will warp and partially melt. I have seen it more often with reels of LEDs. Someone is told to bake them before use so the put them in the batch oven and the next

You can have a dry cabinet with or without heater. They use desiccants to take the humidity out from the parts. As you can imagine it will be a lengthy process. The ones with heater can do 40C, which will be preferred for plastic and paper tapes. I w

I agree with Evtimov that sticking with the J-Std-033 is preferable to creating your own procedure at a different temp, especially if you need to pass an audit since the auditors will compare your process to the J-Std. My understanding is that oxida

Hi you there, Do you have any experience upon the shelf life of PCBA which passed 100 cycles of liquid to liquid thermal stress test, 125 to -35 centigrade for 15 minutes and 5 seconds of transfer time from 125 to -35 centigarde. Will apprecia

The need to prebake boards to remove moisture from the board [to prevent voiding] prior to wave soldering is driven by the thickness of through hole plating. * 1 thou [25um] or greater requires no prebaking * LT 1 thou [25um] requires prebaking

You may struggle finding the information that you seek, because there is so much variability in the design and fabrication of boards. * What is the purpose of such a test? * What product type sees such an use environment? Consider using the guidelin
