It is correct to remove moisture in PCB by baking. But I think the time and temperature is too little. According to our experience, it should be more than 60min at 120 centigrade degrees.

Check also the specs / recommendations of your PCB manufacturer. We bake boards 4h/120°C before reflow and after automated cleaning (it´s not FR4!) and also if we have to rework with the autometd rework- stations (massive IR underheating ,..). Regar

Probably they had a problem with a certain product, tried baking, the problem went away and ever since there stuck with this money loosing process. So, ... * Write up a plan to split a couple of batches, bake a portion of each batch, don't bake the o

All i used to do was blow them with an airline to remove the excess moisture then bake them for 15/20 min at 100' in an oven and that seems to work fine, i did get the info from a 4 stage cleaning guide for the actual cleaning solution we used but it

I appreciate all the feedback. The reason I was asking the question is because we have an internal documnet that states we need to bake for 16 hours after the boards are cleaned. This just seemed to long for what little moisture is really removed. I

You might try to complete all your soldering within a 72 hour or less time frame. For all intents treat your board like a moisture sensitive component after you have baked and completed SMT reflow. Wash, blow dry, and go direct to stuffing and com

I need help with how long do I need to bake out double sided PCB's that have been cleaned. The units will not be reworked but instead will be moved on to hand stuffing. I have looked in IPC CH-65B and J-STD-033C. I get information for parts if I am r

..... that's very strange. If there were any risk of de-lamination then it would of occurred during the reflow process, surely. Unless the through hole department are using heat guns or wave sodler? I doubt if the sales or planning team are happy if

Hi im new to the forum. We have product where we have applied a carbon finish. I want to remove the carbon to reapply but cant seem to find a solution. Its baked onto solder mask. Any ideas? I was hoping something non abrasive to save scratching the
