Oxygen and Moisture Free Packaging solution

The advantages of RP System

Customer's claim free

The RP system maintains your product quality just after production until using at the customer. If your products get damage by moisture or oxygen, such as deracination, less soldering or bonding, discoloration, moisture absorption and etc during transportation, RP system is the best solution.

Long term storage of devices / PCB

Some customer request a long term supply of maintenance parts. However, it is quite difficult, almost impossible to continue production in spite of small sales volume. RP system solves this serious problem. Divide final production / purchasing lot into a small portion, then packed by RP system. These products are able to sell long after the production date. With respct to the long-term storage of electronic devices, please refer to the GEIA-STD-0003, US Gervernment Electronic and Information Technology’s Association.

Rust proof oil / chemical free

If Rust proof oil, paper, film or chemical(VCI) makes no satisfaction, try RP system. RP system is applicable both transportation by boat and long-term storage without rust / tarnish. Also cleaning process is not required prior to use.

Solder flows evenly as on new pieces.
Uniform adherence as seen in the cross-section.

Solder does not flow and adhere in many areas.
Bubbles are seen even where the solder is adhered.

Solder does not adhere at all.

Base metal is copper(Nickel plating under gold plating)
Gold wires are bonded on to the test pieces after storage under 85% RH and 85℃ for 14 days.

As the photos show, all three in the row of RP System preservation, the gold wire snapped at the mid-section indicating secure bonding to the plated surfaces while the row of air exposed pieces show all the gold wires detached at the second bonding area, indicating unacceptable bonding strength.


Even a thick gold plating shows strength degradation due to oxidation on plated metal.
