What are the defects that I could experience related to moisture contamination of MSDs?

How can I tell if I have MSD related defects occurring on my floor?

Initially you may not see any signs of some of the defects listed above. Others defects such as cracking may be visible to the eye, and ‘Popcorning’ occurring may actually be heard coming from inside your oven in severe cases. Still, it’s very difficult to detect these defects, even standard ICT may show no abnormalities.

If you are interested in determining weather your process may be susceptible to moisture related damage you could run the following test;

• Allow MSD tray to flow through assembly process.
• Send MSDs to independent lab for scanning acoustic microscopy or cross-sectioning.
• Implement MSD control program for savings and reliability.
