Often, people cause ESD damage. • Your body easily picks up charge (electrons) • Your skin, hair and body can store relatively large amounts of static charge. • You can transfer (discharge) this electrical charge to components or assemblies - causi

It should also be noted that if you can control your humidity, you can reduce the chance of static build-up. Do you monitor the humidity in your facility? This alone, can be the greatest contributor to static build-up and ESD damage. But back to t

How many failures? This is hard to quantify. How could you unless you witnessed a spark and all of a sudden the product no longer works. The truth is you could have a discharge and not even know it. It could brush against your clothing, or as we

After selecting a few ovens based on the mfr's specifications, I plan to send them a thermal "slug" to run in their ovens (a 1/4" thick, high temp fiberglass slab with imbedded thermocouples). Since we are replacing ovens with fixed speed blowers wit

thank you for your reply. I felt like I was using too much heat but I thought it would not work unless I did so. I did not suspect a cold solder joint, however I did another test on a scrap board. I heated the board without my clamps attached (I put

The more that I chew the idea of outgassing through the pad theory, the less I like it. Why would something, water???, choose to outgass through the pad when moving through the solder mask would be a path of much less resistance? And why wouldn't the
