Hi Blair - yes, in addition to controlling handling and packaging as you 
detailed, we also control the facility humidity levels to avoid soldering 
and ESD issues.

Hi Technetters,

Been rummaging through the archives looking for info on humidity issues in 
soldering process, found some interesting info on why keeping boards 
sealed and if not, baking, is important to preclude delimination problems. 
Hoever what I was looking for seems to elude me. 

Assuming that boards are stored properly and are below the levels of 
moisture content that can cuase problems, and that MSDs are also stored 
per industry standards, what other issues does humidity induce in the 
sctual soldering process itself? If the humidity gets too high, even 
though a facility has air conditioning it may only control temperature and 
not humidity level, will this cause additional problems in the process 
itself? 

Thanks,

Blair
