Hi, It is very important to follow IPC JEDEC 33 specification for storage and handing of all MSDs. In many instances defects caused by excess moisture in packages is not immediately evident (pcbs may pass final test) but when pcb has been in the fiel

Regarding your question about buying equipment to vacuum seal the MBBs, according to the IPC/JEDEC standard, "Full air evacuation is not needed or recommended; light air evacuation will reduce the packaging bulk and enhance carton packing. Excessive

Hi Peter, Out of the 1.5 billion components we shipped last year, we had 3 components back for solderability issues. All 3 had been taken out of their vacuum packaging and left to oxidize for a number of weeks. We don't see it as an issue, but we

We have been using InoAuto carts since 2015 and we have a number of them on our floor. We bought few of their passive carts on 2014 IPC show and that's how we know them. Although we already have efficient vertical revolving storage systems, we have
