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

You also need to get with the PCB manufacturer. Their is a lot that can go wrong with that many layers. If the manufacture is trapping that much moisture. you may have a hard time baking it out. Dave and Graham are right about the time and energy. It

Hello, I have been recently bringing a new RoHS wave soldering machine into production. Unfortunately, I am finding many of the boards are experiencing blow holes. It is always silver plated PCBs and I believe it is related to moisture ingress. I n

I completely agree. J-STD-033 spells out the "how to" of baking, quite clearly. You have to bake something for an expensively long time at 80 - 85C in order to properly desiccate your components.

Hello: Pre-baking laminates should only be performed:(1) to meet contractual agreements or (2) in response to an actual defect that can be traced to PWB water absortion. Besides the fact that a pre-bake is an enormous process "bottleneck," it also

"Polymide Films absorb a great deal of moisture. Polymide laminates must be baked at more than 1 hour at 100'C or better for a double sided PWB prior to exposing the laminate to elevated temperatures such as that required for soldering. Moisture abso

1) I'm not familiar with the acronym CAF. Could you spell that one out for me? 2)Why do you feel they need to be baked? Are they in a high humidity enviornment? the only time we bake is when we are dealing with moisture sensitive components. Do you b

Two things ... A friend in the contract coating business said: "... the board is not being baked out long enough, 30 min is certainly not long enough depending on how many layers this board is, as the vacuum (from the parylene process) is pulling t

We had the same problem too. Water would remain under the caps even after a bake out. We saw this numerous times when the caps were removed after the wash and bake. The only fix was to hand solder the large electrolytics.

I am using PCBs fabricated by ISOLA HR370 material. The layer count is typically 8-10 layers. thickness is 2.0mm. What is the optimum time to bake prior to assembly. What is the Standard refereed to,
