Hi everybody, Lately we have had a few problems with moisture sensitive part precautions. During the design phase, a part is identified as moisture sensitive. The purchase orders are then modified to include packaging/labeling notices identifying the moisture requirements. Then, when the parts are received, some are properly packaged and labeled and some are not. In all cases when we contact the supplier we are told that the part in question is no longer sensitive [component assembly processes were changed, etc] or we have parts come identified as sensitive which were not when we created the design. So the $1000 QUESTION is, do you try to identify moisture sensitive parts on your design documentation or do you rely on your supplier to properly identify and package sensitive parts and just handle them accordingly when you receive them??? We have had a number of discrepancies, and I was wondering what everyone else does to avoid this kind of thing. As always, thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Have fun, Jim Jenkins --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
