MSL 3 means you can have the devices open for a maximum of 168 hours in an atmosphere of less then or equal to 30 C and 60% RH. If the humidity is less then 60% then it means the devices will absorb less moisture in a given time, but even at 40% RH y

Am I reading your post correctly? You will print PCBs and not populate them until up to 24 hours later? And you can assemble level 3 components at 30C and 90% humidity, you just have to pro-rate the exposure time. (I don't recommend having those con

Hi Jeff, There is a visible roughness in the groove in the front most six to eight inches of the screw, and this is where some noise is produced when operating. I called Assembleon once looking for another part, and they flatly offered no support a

Causes of dewetting in conformal coating. Factors that influence dewetting usually involve non-ionic contamination such as: * Residues from board manufacture including silicone surfactants from solder resist & HASL rinse contamination * Component res
