Linda -

I do not havce an hard reference, but years ago we did the Method 208
test for 8hrs to simulate a 3 year shelf life when stored at ambient
conditions - 70F/50 RH. I believe the contract was NASA.

Subject: [TN] Steam aging equivalent shelf life extension


I'm trying to find out what the equivalent shelf life extension for
solderability is when using steam aging. Does an 8hr. steam aging
correspond to some # of months expectation for good solderability. Is
there a formula for hrs. steam aging vs. months of solderability?

Any/all info. is appreciated.
