Hoe kan ik de vochtadsorptie op FR4 PCB minimaliseren?

Although the adsorption of moisture by FR4 is quite low, what is the best way to minimize it or eliminate it completely?

Adsorption is a chemical process that occurs on the surface and can affect surface resistivity. Since you are talking about PCB mass, it sounds like you are actually talking about moisture absorption which is diffusion into the bulk of the material.

  • If there are any fixing holes, it will be impossible to eliminate them completely.
  • I have some products where the use of this sealant is mandated (they are in ship-board aircraft). I only mention this to show there are solutions, if there is a requirement for complete sealing.
  • Simply covering most of the PCB with solder mask will reduce the absorption of moisture.
  • From a system point of view, other than the bare PCB, it would be important to avoid components that absorb moisture- which would include plastic-packaged parts, but especially polyamide (Nylon) fasteners etc. which can absorb an enormous amount of moisture (as much as 10%)- enough to cause large dimensional changes as well as mass changes.

How do you hold SMD part in place while soldering?

I go through this every time I have PCBs I need to populate with SMD parts, and this has become more an issue as pin spacings have gotten tighter, and my hands have become less steady with age. How do you hold SMD part in place while soldering?
