While trying to sell me a low temperature baking system for SMDs the salesman mentioned that the 125C for 24hr bake had been known to cause co-planarity defects. I thought I'd ask some experts. Any help guys?

Thanks for the tips... found out the ex-employee guy, had pre-bake conditioning put into the process flow, as this pcb is made of polymide material, that is reputed to have historical patterns in thermal sensitivity. To avoid "thermal damaging" the

Morning all, we have been seeing some problems with the edges of some of our BGA's curling away from the PCB after reflow. Is this possibly a moisture problem? If so what would be a good time/temp to bake them at to rectify the problem? Thanks in

Hi, Can anyone help explain the benefits/disadvantages of bareboard pcb baking, as part of the pre-heat conditioning, before the bareboard pcb use in SMT production run? The pcb board is 200mm x 240mm panelized pcb board, and has 28 smaller pcb boa

If you dont mind me asking, what are you guys using to keep your IC's dry??

McDry seems be a good unit to consider.

The answer is yes, it is possibly a moisture-related problem. You can confirm this by baking your parts at 125C for 48 hours (ref. J-STD-033A, table 4-1). For more technical background on this issue I recommend you read the following paper : Impac

Yes please send a copy of that paper as I dont have access to the 033 STD. That would be great, thanks a lot. jdumont@astromed.com JD

JDumont: In trying to find the paper that Francois referenced, poke around his site [ http://www.cogiscan.com ], where he's collected a bunch of papers on the control of moisture sensitivity in components.

Oh, you posted something about that a couple of weeks ago. Nice that you have the justification, too bad that's the way you needed to get it.
