Hi all, I just discovered this forum and I'm very impressed. We have a vendor who recently stopped placing desiccants in the vacuum packaging for our pcbs. (Yes, it's on the dwg!) His reasoning was that the desiccants can degrade the finish on the

Ok lets put it this way. If the PCB house used a high quality mask and properly applied it to a properly cleaned surface and properly cured it, then as Dave stated above there are only two things that can destroy it. Excessive heat and overly aggress

Please refer the attached jpegs, The problem is noticed after reflow soldering followed by conventional through hole soldering. Flux used one is MIL Std. Brush cleaning in IPA is followed after each soldering step. regards, R.Saravanan

Wow! I'm going to apply for something at Desiccare, I think... I found similar things about desiccants, but mostly material related stuff, also some concerns more about the indicator card than the desiccant. Nothing conclusive. At the moment, I

I been a bunch o' places...! Some good, some bad, re-inventing the wheel in many cases. Our specs are pretty specific in a lot of cases, but that doesn't mean they always get followed. It usually becomes a case of "It's not quite right, but we rea

Welcome!!! Where the hay ya been??? Sorry bud, were lining-up with your fab [it hurts me to say that, but when yer ] We used to dry pack with desiccants, also. Its probably an old MIL-STD-2073-1C requirement [er something like that]. We qui

I said: "Our electronic circuit board fabricators seal the boards in moisture barrier bags [MBB]. We discontinued the use of desiccant bags in these MBB because of concerns about the desiccant releasing materials that would affect the solderability
