What is the URL address for goddard? Vic, -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Bush Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2007 10:00 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] IPC 6012 : Outgassing Criteria Outgassing control is critical in space flight applications. Materials like laminate, masks and inks are tested for CVCM, WVR and TML and need to meet certain levels to be used in space applications. Outgassing can interfere with optics, devices, etc as these elements have much greater impact to the system in a vacuum. Goddard publishes an 1124 data manual, that you can get for no cost, listing the materials that have already been tested. You can use these materials in lieu of testing to meet outgassing requirements.

What actually is outgassing? 2. Why is outgassing critical for PCB? 3. As the PCB consist of so many processes and different materials go into making it, where did the outgassing come from? 4. Is the criteria mandatory for all Class PCB or only specified application? 5. If for only specific application, which application and why? 6. Come to think about it, can the outgassing come also from the coating we use to seal the assembly? Hope someone out there can share with me (novice) on this issue.
