Michael, By the way, the default bake duration should be 48 hours at 125C instead of 24 hours. The shorter duration was based on a standard that is now obsolete. The current revision of J-STD-033 includes a variable duration bake table, based on co

In regards to baking an assembly prior to hot air (BGA) rework.... 1) Do people always bake, sometimes or never? Does this depend on whether MS sensitive components are near the rework site? If a BGA is to be removed and reballed, baking is a no-br

Dason, Please be aware that weight gain is only a very crude estimate of the component moisture content. This is only accurate when the moisture is uniformly distributed inside the component (which is actually never). This measurement is usually no

I am currently working on a manufacturing flow where some PCBA are processed with reflow oven (after being baked before processing), then cleaned with bath, then passed into contaminometer, passed into AOI. The point is after all of this, if AOI dete

Hello Baking before solder pasting and reflow actually due to poential moisture development. This is JDEC requirement I believe to do so. We AOI after cleaning so we AOI a clean PCBA

Is there a reason the PCBA needs to be cleaned to inspect through AOI? I AOI thousands of "dirty" boards a day without an issue.

When I used the micro-stencils, We purchased the holder from the stencil manufacturer. As far as design we used 5mil stencils for uBGAs,6-7 mil for larger 63/37 balls, and 8 mil for CBGAs. Aperture openings used were slightly smaller than what we wo
