Many times after initially cleaning in the solvents recommended by the paste/material manufacturer, a light white haze may still be visable...try using a soft bristle brush to remove the remaining residues. By this time the residues that remain will

No-Clean fluxes are difficult to clean off boards. Cleaning effectivness depends on the washer, the chemistry, the flux type, number of reflows, and the time between reflow and washing. White residue is flux residues that have started to break down b

Do you clean the stencil manually or using the automated under-stencil cleaner on your Printer (recommended)? 1. Ensure that stencil wipes are lint-free and soaked sufficiently with solvent before use. 2. If your printer supports automated cleaning

Hi all I just got feedback from my customer about "White residue problem" around solder joints with manaul soldered connector at customer site and included the failure analysis report that there is residues of Cl,S,Na . I 'd like to know, the whi

Tough to say, but ... Chlorine: Many fluxes contain chlorine. Sulphur: Many solders and paper packing materials contain sulphur. Sodium: No idea. IPC-J-001 talks to board cleanliness and specifies criteria according to the cleanliness test met

This is one of the most common questions I get asked. Why clean no-clean flux. It was stated earlier that no-clean residues are benign. This may or may not be accurate. It depends on several factors including the reflow process. In a perfect world, t

Thanks for the kind words Dave. At no point in my reply was I trying to sell anything. I apologize to anyone who believes otherwise. I agree with the poster, if assemblies are going to be cleaned, consider a flux designed to be cleaned. While this is

I believe the correct statement (I've been told) is "the process is no clean". The solder paste is "low residue". As a CM, in the past we had customers that insisted on a wash after soldering. We used DI water with a saponifier which had mixed result
