    Enhance Organizations … ask about AFM!!

    Potentially huge problem for those in the electronics industry. I've recently written an article on Handling Moisture Sensitive Devices to be published next month in Global SMT & Packaging. I've seen countless instances of nonconformances across the world. Within the last month, I have seen a new situation ... Humidity Indicator Cards (HICs) that are not functioning properly. I recently came upon a second manufacturer who's HICs are not changing from blue to pink, even after being removed from a dry cabinet and held for several hours, then overnight in a conference room with humidity of approximately 45%. See photo ... even though the smaller, 3 dot, HICs state that they are J-STD-033 compliant, they are not. J-STD-033 requires the manufacturer and lot # be placed (on the right end) on each HIC. I'm asking for everyone who is involved in building/assembling PCBs/PCBAs to pass this along. Additionally, I am requesting that you go to your Stock Room, Kitting Area, Sealing Station, Manufacturing Floor, Shipping Dept, Rework Area, etc. ... anywhere a HIC is used and remove a samplying of different HICs ... place them in an environment (30+ % RH) higher than the storage area and observe them ... they should change within 10 minutes. Do they have the proper markings? Please reach out to me (positive of negative) as I would like to understand the full scope of this.

  • MIL-STD-1686 How many electronics companies are still using MIL-STD-1686 as the basis of their electrostatic discharge control program? Is this an okay way to go? The short answer is “no!” The long answer is “noooooooooo!” So, what is wrong with MIL-STD-1686?  It is ancient obsolete standard that was canceled and officially replaced on January 12, 2021.   The following is indicated by the DoD website assist.gov: MIL-STD-1686C, dated 25 October 1995, is hereby canceled. ANSI/ESD S20.20, “ESD Association Standard for the Development of an Electrostatic Discharge Control Program for Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies and Equipment (Excluding Electrically Initiated Explosive Devices),” supersedes MIL-STD-1686C. The current MIL-STD-1686 revision C was released on October 25, 1995. Do the math. This was twenty-eight years ago. They never released a companion handbook for this revision. Many of the documents listed throughout MIL-STD-1686C have been superseded or replaced by other documents. The sensitivity classifications have changed significantly since 1995. It contains thirty-one “shalls,” but doesn’t even specify grounded operators or ESD workstations. The list goes and on. ANSI/ESD S20.20 When ANSI/ESD S20.20 was created in the late 1990s, the intent was for it to replace MIL-STD-1686.   The group was even called “the 20.20 MIL-STD-1686 Conversion Committee.” Representatives from the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and NASA all participated in its development. The first release was in 1999. It was adopted by the DoD on July 7, 2000. Subsequent releases occurred in 2007, 2014 and 2021.  NASA also references ANSI/ESD S20.20 in many of their documents. Recommendation Base your ESD control program and procedures on a more current ESD standard such as ANSI/ESD S20.20-2021 or JEDEC JESD625B. If you’ve got an unusual attachment to MIL-STD-1686, you can still state that your program and procedures meet the intent of MIL-STD-1686, providing you address the “shalls” and tailor you documents appropriately. Staticon Support Services Inc can assist your company with this task.

  • Too funny.

    I am SO SICK of everyone wanting to work from home. Today, our cleaning lady informed us she is transitioning to 100% remote work and will send us instructions. When will it all end!?!
