The follwing is from the Technet archives, per IPC's Jack Crawford. I dug it up during some investigation of a supplier's issues with humidity in an Asian plant: There is support for this in IPD-HDBK-001 w/Amendment 1 Handbook and Guide to Suppleme

Ooooo, much better. Tough to say, because of all the variables [ie, different materials, moisture level, temperature, etc]. Plastic encapsulated devices, especially IC, absorb water from the air, which is violently released during soldering. Typica

To my knowledge, the 40C was established as the maximum "safe temperature" for all tape and reel packaging. The actual specs may vary somewhat for different types of reel, pocket-tape, cover-tape but you must be concerned with the cover tape adhesive

IPC-HDBK-001 w/Amendment 1 Handbook and Guide to Supplement J-STD-001 (Includes J-STD-001B to C Comparison). During fabrication and storage, both components and PWBs will often absorb water. If left in the device, this water will vaporize at solderi

You are correct. For the 70 deg. C drying temperature to be effective, the relative humidity must be as near to zero as possible. A pulling a vacuum on the chamber is an inexprensive and reliable way to accomplish this. Contrary to some claims, our e

Victor, here are a few more elements of information to answer your question. Both the temperature and relative humidity on the manufacturing floor have a significant impact relative to the rate of diffusion of moisture inside a plastic package and t

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
