Hello, Technetters,
Although we have decided (and documented in our procedures) that the age of
the components during the income inspection will be 18 months max, the
market situation, jobbers plea (and consecutively - pricing) and time to
market (and the purchasing department) are twisting my hand, to approve
reception of old components.
Given that:
a) we do not have a lab;
b) all we can do before the assembly is visual inspection (especially of
BGAs);
c) components dehydration profile is 120 degC for 8 hours min;
d) components age is 3 years and more,
I am trying to find the best process by making visual inspection of the
components (flatness and corrosion of balls/pads), dehydration and thorough
electrical testing.

Have any suggestions?

Regards
