15.2 Processing Recommendations

Solder and Bond Surfaces

As a basic principle, the defined and stipulated storage conditions and maximum storage times for solder and bond surfaces must be observed to ensure optimal further processing!
Learn more under Solder and Bond Surfaces | General.

PCB Drying

Under certain circumstances and depending on the PCB technology, PCB drying may be advisable and strongly recommended. If this is the case, drying can be performed ZVEI recommendations “Drying of PCBs before soldering”.
On the topic of Moisture absorption of Base materials/PCBs Learn more

With rigid-flex PCBs, it is essential to carry out drying before the soldering process;
more about this can be found under Rigid-Flex PCB | Processing Recommendations.

Processing Recommendations for “Multidimensional PCB Technologies”

For a flex-rigid PCB, please refer to the bending application guidelines under Rigid-Flex PCB | Processing Recommendations.
For an HSMtec 3D PCB, please refer to the bending application guidelines under HSMtec 3D PCB | Further Processing Application.
