How should I handle wet PCBs?

A batch of PCB got wet in warehouse due to roof linking. Too terrible to shoulder the lost. How can I do to rescue these wet PCBs? Or to minimize the damage?

The best solution is to dry it by wind and then sunshine.
Clean PCBs with high-purity alcohol if available. High-purity alcohol can dilute water and promote ventilation.
Test them before using in case of any residual water.

Anyway, the stability of the PCB is impossible to recover as before, but they can work. Ten slotte, they have been damped. If they pass a wet test before selling, things will be better.

Hebben de krassen op de printplaat een slecht effect op producten??

We receive a batch of PCB with scratches from my supplier, but they think it is acceptable. I have never seen such error on even an B stock boards parts. Very confused. How do scratches affect PCB working?

How much larger should a plated-through hole be than lead diameter to get good solder wetting?

I’m designing a new PCB where I have a whack of connectors that have to line up with the metalwork. There are some problematic connectors. All 4 pins are round. I want to have the holes as small as possible while allowing for good solder adhesion over the full length of the pin. I’m looking for guidance on how much clearance around the component lead I should have in order to get good solder wetting and adhesion.

Hoe ontwerpen we een printplaat met SMT-componenten voor assemblage??

I am a junior electrical engineer and last week I have joined a product develpment project which involves SMT PCB. Would you like to share some general steps about designing PCB?
