Thanks Dave, I was able to get an automated dispenser to apply an amount of paste that should be sufficent. My only question is should I bake the boards before solder is applied and the boards are reflowed. I ask this because the boards have been s

We want to handle the materials such as PCB & MSD components as per IPC 1601 & J-STD-033. As such, we need a baking oven to perform this and to monitor (temperature – we have to maintain up to 200’C & humidity – below 5%)the control environment & ma

We implemented MSD controls 10 years ago using a software/hardware system developed by Cogiscan. The system tracks all moisture sensitive material utilizing RFID and Barcode scanning to completely eliminate human error. The system gives real time dat

I think you need some new suppliers. Any reputable supplier will have the M-code marked on the outside of the pkg, as that's a req't of J-STD-033. So if it ain't there, tell them they need to properly mark the pkg. Them telling you to "check the i

We manufacture according to military Class 3 standards and we do not vacuum seal any MSD devices. Your current method of dry packing is sufficient as well as dry cabinet or nitrogen storage. A light evacuation of air during the dry packing process

As we here are realizing that the list of MSL-3 and higher is much longer than we thought: 1)Component Datasheets do not necessarily state MSL rating. 2)Component manufacturers seem to make it difficult for its users (the folks who buy their produc

First, reflow does not reset the clock for MSL exposure. The best solution is to run the second side before the exposure time expires. I am curious to know why they must sit for 40 hours. If that cannot be done, then store the assemblies in a dry c

Your ppl are correct, the capacitor is not sealed. So, it is perfectly acceptable for the capacitor to have absorbed moisture. If your ppl don't either prevent moisture absorption or remove the moisture prior to soldering, their component could fail

Hello, I have searched the forums for this specific topic, but can not find the clarification I would like. I am setting up a baking system to "reset" SMD components using a vacuum-bake oven. According to the JEDEC-STD-033 standard, depending on th

Ashok: I have three answers to your questions on moisture sensitive devices: 1. What is general practice on incoming / receiving inspection of moisture sensitive devices- which boils down to mostly FPDs and BGAs ? Traditionally, FPD packs were opene
