hi, lately I have problem with smd leds.After reflow 2-4% of leds are broken.I think , that reason is bad storage of components, because in our stock the tape with leds have not Moisture Barrier Bags.My question is ,how you storage components, which

Is your peak reflow temp exceeding the LED spec? We store our SMT LED reels on the rack with the rest of the discreets and have never seen this issue...

Hi, do you know if your LEDs are moisture sensitive ? And if so what MSL level ? Surprisingly it seems that not all are, but some seem really sensitive. I imagine the differences are down to the plastics used and the LED manufacturing processes. I a

Hi , I think that our problem is humidity, because when I use leds from new tape ( pack in MBB ) no any defects.After that, we put opened tape in our store.After 2-3 weeks I use the same tape with leds, and we have 2-3% defective leds.I make this tes

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

Are you absolutely sure the problem is with the humidity? We had a problem with 3528 size leds, damaged by the pick and place nozzle because a 0.2mm mistake in the height measurement. Also, we found that several suppliers are using fake desiccant ba

The standard J-STD-033B.1 addresses how to store moisture sensitive components. A dry box is a good, convenient way to store MSDs, but there are other methods to consider which are outlined in the standard. Are you sure that the problems are caused
