Believe it! Although it might be necessary in certain rare cases, and as Ray says, as a bandaid, to routinely bake your boards is a mistake. For much more info, search the IPC technet archives over the last few weeks. It was a popular thread

Generic fabs should not require baking. Some special cases like teflon and flex circuits take moisture very well, they often continue to require a trip to the oven. Best wishes, Boca

Amazing in today's technology that people still bake because "that's the way we've alawys done it". Baking is a band aid for poor manufacturing of the PCB. Moisture can become trapped between the layers during buildup. This moisture when it contacts

Hi Experts out there, pls help me with the following matters. How important is the bare PCB baking ? What is the temperature for baking @ what RH ? What would be the impact for the ENTEK finished board should the baking is really necessary ? For t

Q1: How important is the bare PCB baking ? A1: Baking boards is a non-value added activity. Q2: What is the temperature for baking @ what RH ? A2: Search the fine SMTnet Arcives for bake recipes. Q3: What would be the impact for the ENTEK finishe

Does anyone know if the IPC 610 standard call for baking bare boards (PWB) prior assembly? Note: I am talking about bare boars only and NOT plastic packages components, Regards. Eyal Green

Hi I can't give you the answer for your question because I have too many questions and would have to know a lot more before I was comfortable giving any advice. I have done mass Baking of piles of PCB's as a needed evil when piles of boards were ex

If these are these bare [or partially assembled] boards, baking probably will not hurt, as long as the bake is not excessive. If these are these assembled boards, baking probably will not accomplish much. What is the source of this water? If it's

What guidelines would you suggest for an assembly house concerning the baking of bare PCB's (assume FR4) and flexes/rigid-flexes before assembly.

Q1: What do you mean by "if the board is manufactured properly"? A2: If the epoxy is noy cured prooperly, for instance, the copper will not be well attached to the glass. So, peel strength will be lower. Q2: I don't believe that the peel off/or lif
