Hi Hui Luo
I think some of this decision would be up to the customer. But I can tell you that discoloration is acceptable per A-610 as long as performance is not degraded. Discoloration of solder mask is also allowed.
10.2.8.3 Laminate Conditions - Flexible and
Rigid - Flex Printed Circuitry - Discoloration
Acceptable - Class 1,2,3
* A discolored conductor meets the requirements of dielectric
withstanding voltage, flexural fatigue resistance, bending
resistance, and solder temperature resistance, after being
subjected to the moisture resistance test of 40°C, 40% relative
humidity, 96 hours.
Acceptable - Class 1
* Minimum discoloration.
Defect - Class 1,2,3
* A discolored conductor does not meet the requirements of
dielectric withstanding voltage, flexural fatigue resistance,
bending resistance, or solder temperature resistance, after
being subjected to the moisture resistance test of 40°C,
40% relative humidity, 96 hours.
10.5.1.4 Solder Resist Coating - Discoloration
Acceptable - Class 1,2,3
* Discoloration of the solder resist material.
Defect - Class 1,2,3
* Solder resist does not comply with 10.5.1.1 through
10.5.1.3.

Dear David,
As we know the PCB surface will be discolored after soldering process,
especial for OSP and Imersion silver surface finish.
Is this discoloring a defect that we need to specify? The object should be
finished product after final soldering assembly.

Hi David,
Yes, I am seeking help for dwell time control between SMT and wave
soldering because the idle time will affect our process quality.
According to your item 1,2,3, I still need your further help.
1. For bare PCBs IPC did a study that showed that when held at office
conditions, PCB had no problem with solderability after two years of
storage(it is applicable for all surface finishes? Is the bare board packed
with vacuum package? Is it possible to share the test reports?)
[David Bergman] The report description. We had reflowed tin lead and
unfused from what I remembered. We also had OSP. Since this is older we
really didn't address the lead free coatings.
IPC-TR-462
DESCRIPTION
This document provides conclusions and recommendations for the
effectiveness of different protective coatings and coating application
methods. PWB solderability in typical storage conditions after various time
periods as well as the correlation of time and storage conditions to
thickness and coating characteristics are addressed. Not available in
electronic format. 63 pages. Released October 1987.
2. Regarding moisture: All PCBs absorb moisture to some extent based on the
laminate material. After baking the board can absorb to equilibrium
relatively quickly 8-16 hours. So if the board is in a humid environment
it could absorb faster.(We just put the semi-product in workshop condition,
it really will absorb the moisture, but it is not workable to bake all the
boards due to capacity/volume of baking oven limited; also it will bring
many issues if we transfer the PCBA(with SMDs) too much. So do not know
whether IPC will set the recommended procedure for semi-products before the
last soldering process, such as the storage station, dwell time etc.)
[David Bergman] IPC does not have standards activity on in-process
manufacturing since that can inhibit innovation. But if you cannot bake, I
think longer than 8 hours could lead to problems. I would also worry about
any residues left after SMT and whether you would clean them.
3. If you are stopping between two operations, I would be concerned about
any in process residues on the assembly and the potential for residue
impact on subsequent processes.(We really encountered such comtamination
problem, oxidization problem before and also was complained by HP, but the
effecting cycle of such problem was always long. Also we use no-clean flux,
normally it will not make much residue. BTW, do IPC have some conditional
using for OSP PCB at wave soldering process, sometimes the flux residue
will oxidize the copper and corrode the copper)
[David Bergman] At one time, IPC committees were working on a standard for
OSP that would be similar to immersion silver and immersion Tin. I don't
see it listed in development anymore. Maybe Tom Newton can comment on what
happened to this committee.

Hi Hui Luo
Your reply confused me a little so I would like to try to clarify my
understanding. At first it seemed that you were looking for storage after
the PCBA was completed the assembly process. Now it seems to me that you
are asking about conditions of a dwell time between two assembly
operations. Maybe you can help clarify. I can tell you the following:
1. For bare PCBs IPC did a study that showed that when held at office
conditions, PCB had no problem with solderability after two years of
storage.
2. Regarding moisture: All PCBs absorb moisture to some extent based on the
laminate material. After baking the board can absorb to equilibrium
relatively quickly 8-16 hours. So if the board is in a humid environment
it could absorb faster.
3. If you are stopping between two operations, I would be concerned about
any in process residues on the assembly and the potential for residue
impact on subsequent processes.

Hi David,
Thanks for you prompt feedback! I agree your words that assembly should set
up serious procedure for ESD and we always do that. Why I raise that
question is because there will be many issues brought if the idle time
between SMT and assembly is certain long, such as solderability issue,
delamination issue, solder balling issue...
Per our experience, there will be big risk if the idle time more than 5
days after SMT. Now in Emerson Network Power Group, we would like to set
down this requirement, but first we wish get comment from you.

Dear Hui Luo,
I have never seen a document that established this type of requirement. I
assume the temperature and humidity requirement would be similar to the
PCB. I assume also there would be more concern about ESD control.

Dave

Dear David and other IPC officers,
Besides below, can you help to advise is there any documentation to
describe the shelf life/storage condition/handling requirment for the PCBA
after SMT or wave soldering?

Dear Friends,
Can anyone advise me are there any documentations which indicates the PCB
raw material, bareboard or PCBA storage conditions and shelve life.
Have anyone of you experience PCBA after storage of one year have appear
via holes failure issues? Anyone have ever encounter or studies in this
area?
Hope to have your favourable advise.
Thanks & Best Regards
