I don't know why you would NOT use a no clean paste. You're just adding time and cost to the assemblies, not to mention potential problems. Changing paste is the best option here unless you have a very compelling reason not to.

You can try expensive wash pallet that protects the part in question, or you can solder with NC solder after all wash is done.

Depending on the assemblies you're producing, I highly recommend 8.9HF from Indium for a low residue SAC305 alloy. We have been using this for years in our NC process and residues are very little, with appropriate stencil apertures and paste printing

Hi We are mounting an microphone device (SMT package) onto a PCB which has an ENIG finish and, observed some contamination on the underside of the device, post reflow. The SEM analysis shows that the contamination has a high level of Carbon. Where c

So, a couple of things... First, you're asking about water washing a part, but, note that the manufacturer says to NOT ultrasonically clean their microphones. Those can be two different cleaning types...assembly shops using water wash may not be us

Try a liquid latex masking material. Youll most likely have to cover the hole with kapton, really drench the thing in the liquid latex to prevent the ultrasonic from damaging it then bake it at 50-70c for about 2-4 hours. With no bake its usually a 2

I haven't heard of a meter like that. Consult Fuji for a recommended supplier if it is so special. The meter from Gates has a very sensitive microphone, so you tap (or strum) the belt and the vibration is heard and converted to Hz. If you want to

I agree with Mainteneer on this. Depending on the active components, I would check the datasheets of them. Particular groups of components to pay attention to: microphones, microprocessors, transformers, relays, switches. Washing may be in some cases

This is a very challenging situation indeed. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer of the component? I know of one time in the past we had a reflow issue and contacting the manufacturer actually proved insightful. I have seen claims using Diamon

We are mounting an microphone device (SMT package) onto a PCB - how? Surface mount line or hand soldering? Contamination can only come from the solder paste, solder wire, flux, or burning the component/PCB assembly during hand soldering. Unless the
