Has anyone used a PCB baking oven to bake the above? If so, what important things do i need to take note and any special tips or problems that might arise with regards to the components?

thanks and regards,

Fine pitch parts are not the issue. Platic parts that absorb moisture are the issue. Search the fine SMTnet Archives to get started. Try: * MSD * Moisture sentive device * Dessicant cabinets * Baking times * 033 * 020 * etc

It all depends on the part you're cooking. Most components have a storage recommendation in their spec sheet. So be sure not to exceed it. Generally I see a lot of spec sheets that are arounf 140 C. So I set the oven for about 100 C and let it go over night. Seems to work fine. Just be sure your operators take the parts out of any bags they are in (seen it done before).

Greg,

As Dave pointed out, the main reason to bake components is to remove absorbed moisture from moisture-sensitive components.

All you need to know on this subject, including the specific bake conditions (temperature and duration) are clearly spelled out in the joint industry standard J-STD-033. The default bake conditions are 125C for 48 hours or 40C for 68 days. The lower temperature is used when your parts are packaged in a low temperature container, like tape & reel. I can e-mail you a copy of the standard in pdf format if you want.
