Hi Dave Interesting points. If I understand you correctly 1. about 2% of part numbers have a moisture problem 2. Packaging frequently comes in with expired dates on them. This seems hard to believe you would accept them. 3. To really solve the

We are going to be placing BGAs for the first time, and I have some questions. Is it recommended top bake all of the boards and all of the BGAs before production? I have had good luck baking boards that didn't wave solder well. It usually turns out

| Currently, we are baking any PCB before process on SMT, the 'reason' is to dry any possible humidity that could be inner the PCB, it does not matter if the PCB is multilayer or not. We bake PCB's at 107C for 4 hrs and the board must be process into

Praveen, Once you find out the MS level of your components, you will need to track the exposure time from when the parts are initially removed from their dry bags, through test, programming, taping, and during subsequent dry storage and use of thes

We�ve been stewing on this and it just dawned on us the part that�s missing. Blow-holing is caused by BOTH of the following: * Moisture absorption by the resin that holds the board together. [Steve is addressing this with his various baking schemes

Hey Steve, You shouldn't bake your boards, because it's a bandaid for bad fabrication, packaging, storage practices, and what not. You really should go back to the source of the problems and fix that so that you don't add non-value-added costs to
