When you say "unacceptable" do you mean cosmetically unacceptable? I've always put as much flux (no clean, of course) on the board until the ICT guys start yelling at me. That's how I roll... Lots of factors with no-clean flux residues...board mas

IEC 60601-1 is a UL regulatory standard for Medical Electronic Equipment. We recently ran the humidity pre-conditioning segment of this testing and have found electromigration repeatably in areas with hand soldered joints (remaining NC flux). IEC 6

Patrick Q1) Is the test pattern similar to the IPC-B-25? A1) - No - Tests were run on a prototype assembly. Q2) what is the temperature in the test chamber and voltage supplied to the test coupons? A2) 25C with 3.3VDC. Q3) Does this test i

OH MY GOD!! Finally it's becoming public knowledge here on the streets. YES germanium is in this material. As much as these guys and ALPHA METALS wanted to keep these things secret, anyone with a halfway competent lab would quicky find out why all of

Oh. [Howabout if I smack you?] If ahma connectin� wif whut yer sayin�, you: * Don�t like the appearance of the glue slobberin� out from under the component even though there is no apparent glue on solderable surfaces. * Concerned about the hydrosco

Murad, I have just completed a switch over in our facility to no-clean. We used Alpha 609 and 857 paste and wave flux respectively. We currently use Alpha UP78 paste, NR330 wave flux, NR205 liquid flux for touchup and cleanline 7000 wire solder as

| I need a memory jog. What is the term for the growth of conductive contamination after a board is in storage or field? | There are several different mechanisms which can cause this. In reality, ionic contamination is the root cause for many of the

Hello, I've been evaluating a bunch of wave solder fluxes and found one that is absolutely perfect. I'm so excited I can't wait to switch over. Unfortunately, I have to assure reliability, and the only test I have in-house is ionic contamination

Davef, Sorry for the late response. I was trying to gather more info. The group with low ionic contamination levels came from one of our other facilities. We want to outsource more of our product due to increasing demand. Both groups use the same

Many Thanks Dave for your patience (GBY). I was just trying to give a chance to our connector Supllier to read few micrograms less of NaCl found with the connectors. But even if using a "bonus formula" they are out of specs. Following it could be i
