Where should I store PCB?

I have received the final prototypes from manufacturer and all is good after our checking. And we want to keep it well. Do you have any tips about that?

First, we should keep them from long-run touch with air and water.

Second, the vacuum packing of the PCB can’t be damaged. PCB vacuum packaging can prevent the welding pad from moisture oxidation and layering foaming.

Third, we need to store them in a dry and ventilated place. Attention please! Cover them from direct sunlight.

Fourth, the ideal temperature of the warehouse is 23 ± 3 ℃, 55 ± 10% RH.

  • Under such conditions, PCBs with floor remedies such as immersion gold, electro-gold, tin spray, and silver plating can usually be saved for 6 months.
  • Surface PCB boards such as Shen Tin and OSP can usually be saved for 3 months.

Fifth, it is good if the PCB manufacturer paints a three-proof layer on it, which can prevent moisture, dust, and oxidation.

  • In this way, PCB will keep well for about 9 months.

What are the black spots in lead-free solder joints on PCB?

I am prototyping a PCB, using Chip Quik’s “SMDSWLF.031, a Sn96.5/ Ag3.0/ Cu0.5 solder with 2.2% no-clean flux. I find that the black spots appears frequently in larger pads on my board. I wonder if it is because I left the soldering iron more time heating the solder and that burnt the flux. What is that black residue? Is that a sign of a bad joint or maybe bad soldering technique?
