Take a few parts from the reel and look close at > the parts to make sure the bottom surface of the > leads is below the bottom surface of the body. Yes I did that and they are below the body. I found the problem I think. The solder mask is abo

Well, we got the baking part right at least. I would think that would help to rule out the barrel cracks allowing moisture escape. Plating too thin makes sense to me. In any case, do you think barrel cracking would be observable on a bare PCB?

Ideal storage conditions to stop pcbs absorbing moisture is at less then 5% RH, for example in sealed moisture barrier bags. You mention that storage was at 40~70%...at these levels the pcb will absorb quite a bit of moisture. Your baking time was no

Thanks. If based on your statement, I can understand why it still can absorb moisture. But the PCB supplier was suggested us to keep at 40%~70% RH, if any issue occur with the storage condition of less than 5% RH, I think it is difficult for us to ge

We've never seen the defect that you describe, but in wave soldering-land blowholes usually are caused by moisture in the board that out-gasses through the too thin plating of through holes. * Bandaid fix: bake the boards * Long-term fix: Obtain boar

We've received in a batch of ICs (Xilinx FPGAs) from a customer on consignment that are having wetting issues. I believe the chips are contaminated. We also know that the chips were bought from a broker. Is there a method to remove the contamination

Hi I have seen some of our multilayer PCBs are having delamination issues even after baking them in the ovens. Does anybody faced this issue before? The problem occured after reflow process and wave solder process as well. The temp profiles are well

We find it is a bigger issue in the summer when there is more humidity in the air even though our facility is air conditioned. We've also seen similar boards go through the same process and vendor A has problems and vendor B doesn't, so fabrication t

Thanks Dave - IF you look ath the Fancort RA-18HT. This is a high temp plastic that will handle 350 F. This is what we need, but in the 8 1/2 by 20 size. No one seems to make them now. We are a bare board manufacturer as well se wee bake boards at hi

Do you have cal. fixture(s)? If not, one 1/2 baked way to get yourself closer quickly is to go into your programs and write down your x/y offsets that you've gained during vision offsets while in production. Compare them - hopefully they are very s
