Have you re-visited your paste manufacturers profile requirements? Start there, adjust accordingly to critical components on the boards (ie LED's, moisture sensitive, etc..).

I have a MS level 3 component that has been on the shelf for 7 years. Should it be baked before usage. The HIC card reads ok- and it was stored with desiccant. History of the part is unknown, was purchased from franchised distribution.

simpel answer is yes it will need to be baked, the typical shelf life for a sealed component assuming it has been sealed would be a max of 2 years but some are shorter. The bugger problem with the device may well be solderability of the device!

I developed our company's procedure for moisture sensitive devices based on J-STD-033 and I don't recall anything requiring a certain ramp rate. Furthermore baking at 85C will greatly extend the time to reset the clock and it is harder to maintain

Look up the glass transition temperature (Tg) for the PCB material. If you get the PCB above this temperature it will become quite soft. If it is a populated board remember to take any moisture sensitive devices on it into consideration.

At this point, I do not plan to back-fill with nitrogen. I have confirmed that vacuum baking, with the temperature set to 40°C, will result in the chamber %RH being less than 5%.

I agree with dontfeedphils. Any time we run into a moisture sensitive component that cannot go through our wash cycle, we solder the component(s) by hand after everything that can be washed has been reflowed and cleaned.

JEDEC defines packaging, matrix trays, tape and reel, and like whatnot. You need to be searching ANSI and IPC. Find these documents: * ANSI/J-STD-020, Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for Plastic Integrated Circuit Surface Mount Devices *

Be very careful how you perform the removal process if you want to re-use BGA/CSP devices. As you are aware, the majority of these components are classified as moisture-sensitive by the manufacturer. This means that if they absorb too much moisture
