Thanks for the tips... found out the ex-employee guy, had pre-bake conditioning put into the process flow, as this pcb is made of polymide material, that is reputed to have historical patterns in thermal sensitivity. To avoid "thermal damaging" the

Hi, Can anyone help explain the benefits/disadvantages of bareboard pcb baking, as part of the pre-heat conditioning, before the bareboard pcb use in SMT production run? The pcb board is 200mm x 240mm panelized pcb board, and has 28 smaller pcb boa

Ianchan, baking as being part of pre-heating is obviously sensless cause the PCB will not maintain any of that heat till soldering. Common reason for prebaking PCB�s is getting the moisture out to prevent outgassing, warpage and maybe other defects.

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

At a previous job I had been taught that when reflow soldering polyimide flex circuits, it was necessary to pre-bake them before reflow soldering to prevent delamination. Our procedures said that there must be a 1hr bake prior to reflow, and the flex

Excuse my ignorance. Please advise whether it is advisable to pre-bake boards before assembly. Thanks Charmaine

I have a Polyimide board that is showing signs of de-lamination. I was wondering what pre-bake times and temperatures other people would recomend for new boards as well for boards that have been on the shelf for 8 months.

aj, Did you have to implement a pre-bake operation prior to SMT? Or did the new batch work just fine with your current process? Just curious if we should be implementing a pre-bake process, or keep pushing on our supplier...or both. Thanks, Mark

Very strange...I just logged into the internet to come post this very question for all the lurking experts. We have a 16 layer rigid-flex that we have never baked. Our board vendor is expressing concern that we do not perform a pre-bake before assy

Dear experts, We are in stage to fix lapse or hold time between pre-bake to reflow process ( SMT ) for flex-rigid PCB, usually for flex pcb , we need to assemble as early as possible once after baking & if not , we can store in humidifier up to some
