Doug you are correct, I was talking about the integrety of the surface for mechanical measurement accuracy, not ESD properties.

We agree with Ken. What does your field meter tell you? Taking it a step further [erzit backward?], what is it about the measurement that requires the granite surface? Wouldn't an ESD protected bench top be as flat as needed for most gauging like

Does anyone do this? We have a small booth and lots of different kinds of media to try. it will be local stripping of coating on components for rework purposes. My main concern is ESD levels and how best to measure this. Any ideas or any papers o

Suggestions are: * Procure solderable finishes that have sufficient thickness to avoid intermetallic problems and use storage conditions that do not promote oxide growth problems. * Bagging/sealing boards has been shown to extend storage durations i

Without being clear on whether you're talking about: * Standard air knives at the back-end of your in-line cleaner ... OR * Hand held or similar nozzle. Standard air knives: This causes no problem with ESD because the relative humidity is so high t

Ted Dangelmayer's book [ESD Program Management: A Realistic Approach to Continuous Measurable Improvement in Static Control; Dangelmayer, T; Kluwer Academic Pub 1999 e2; 0412136716] is excellent. Often, ESD supplies sales-types use the "Chicken Littl

Smartasp, Seems this issue is certainly making a long thread ! As far as our Experience is concerned on Reflow Soldering, particular parts must have failed in LSLs [Lower Specification Limit] and have not withstand well under USLs [Upper Specificat

J-STD-001 doesn't necessarily require additional controls under conditions of low humidity, only that you verify the effectiveness of what you have in place. ESD S20.20 [1999] only says that relative humidity above 30% is "desirable". ESD S20.20 [200

First, we're not real concerned about gluing induced ESD damage, but conformal coating has a tremendous potential to damage sensitive components. We found a charge of 12 kV generated during the aerosol spraying. Second, ESD-stuff IS very confusing.

For a typical assembly facility ( where assembly of circuit cards and shelves is carried out), what are usual recommendation for : 1.Ambient conditions ( Temp and Relative Humidity) 2.Use of Smocks If humidity is less than 40%, what are special prov
