Ideally we want to mix the same lot numbers in a repackaged tube. Once again, these are partial tubes that have been thrown away. If the ratio is right to begin with the only change would be due to air exposure. Semco makes a TC seal which, if we

At Sanders (Military manufacturer), we have only started using plastic parts within the past few years. After being tasked with reviewing the new J-Std-033, it became obvious to me our process for controlling device exposure is weak. We build very lo

I've heard of a series of labels that absorb moisture at different rates and/or change appearance when a specific saturation level is reached. If such labels exist and if they could be correlated to the exposure limits of specific moisture sensitivit

In general terms, guidelines for moisture sensitive devices (MSDs) say that you shouldn't put a component through reflow after it has reached its exposure limit with respect to moisture absorption. When using an automated hot air rework tool to remo

Hi Steve, It sounds like your product will have many moisture-sensitive devices on both sides. You should be aware of the additional controls that are required to insure the reliability of these components in a double-side reflow application. The

I have checked the links that you and Will gave to me. I have new info about my task: The task is to summarize the mask aligning methods. The first method: The factory already has an UV machine for the exposure, so they search some positions with a

Good day, J-STD-033A: 4.1.2.2 Moisture Sensitivity Levels 5-5a For moisture sensitivity Levels 5 and 5a with floor life exposure not greater than 8 hours, a minimum desiccating period of 10X the exposure time is required to dry the SMD packages en

Gold is porous and spots on gold plated PCBs is one of the drawbacks of using gold as a solderability protector. Base Nickel exposure seems to be the cause of this and is aggravated when the gold thickness is less than what it should be. I agree with

The environment essentially defines the need for coating. "Inside" may mean inside a men's locker room with attendant high humidity or inside a climate-controlled clean environment. Conformal coatings offer protection against moisture, fungus, chemi
