Dave is correct. I am including additional information that comes from a recent posting on another industry forum : The proper guidelines for bag sealing are actually specified in the JEDEC standard EIA/JEP124 section 5.2.1 Packing moisture-sensiti

You can't control what you don't measure. You have provided very little detail other than post reflow costs are high. What defects are attributed to problems experienced prior to reflow? Are these random or recurring defects? You will need to put ea

Board fabricators purchase laminate in preferred panel sizes, such as: 16 x 18 inches, 18 x 24 inches, and 21 x 24 inches. A larger panel size provides more effective cost per unit area processed. In producing a board, the fabricator requires maybe 3

Military and most commercial standards requires post-soldered boards to measure less than 10 �g/in of NaCl (14 when using an Omegameter, 20 on a Ionagraph, and 37 on a Zero-Ion). As Dave stated, 6.5 �g/in of NaCl is called out in Mil-P-55110 for ba

First, you must determine a few things: 1. What specific de-fluxing chemical are you going to use? Basic required determinations include the chemical�s pH, is it a VOC (if so, what is its VOC content), what concentration is the chemical used in (1

In answer to your questions. (1) pls can any body throw some light on the reflow profiling? Reflow profiling is the process of confirming that you PCB's that pass through your reflow oven are produced within specifications provided by solder paste
