We are trying to eliminate/minimize the baking process for high lead-count ICs. We would like to reseal packages containing these parts to minimize exposure to humidity. Anyone have or know of a way to reseal or vacuum pack parts? Any suggested eq

Very simple, you just buy a commerical-grade vacuum sealer. It's not that expensive. A small tabletop unit cost $2000 - $4000. I don't have a number handy. E-mail me off-line if you require more info. Regards Matthew NII, Norsat Internationa

David: Beyond the information on sealing components in the archives, look for information on protecting boards. Further, consider a dessicant cabinet, as an alternative. Sources are also in the archives. Good luck. Dave F

Have you considered vacuum package in ESD bags, just like the way the IC's are packaged? What about conformal coating for the units being stored? 10 years is a long time for End of Service life of a product. You may need to get accelerated life testi

We do a lot of prototype work, builds occur days or months apart and moisture Absorption in IC's is a worry. I would like to bake, chuck in some silica gel and then seal or vac seal in an envelope. Does anyone have any experience of vacuum sealing wa

Hi Peter, Out of the 1.5 billion components we shipped last year, we had 3 components back for solderability issues. All 3 had been taken out of their vacuum packaging and left to oxidize for a number of weeks. We don't see it as an issue, but we

All good advise, guys. I somewhat blame myself, that I didn�t inspect the machine. On the other hand, who knows, what machine I would have seen. Here are some e-mail responses, indicating, that this is not the type of business I�m capable of doing my
