Halo; In your last message you did not mentioned why your customer need to use IPA to clean PCB's as their requirement and what subtances they want to get rid of (is it flux stain PCB's or component?).If so recommend your value customer of flux 910

Murray "No-clean" fluxes/pastes should not normally give "white residues". Before exploring cleaning, which is costly for small production levels, I suggest you may care to find out why you have these residues. To help you, can you please answer th

To you wavesoldering guru's. When wavesoldering with a selective wavesoldering carrier What causes the white vapor type residues around the areas of the carrier which are exposed to the wave ? My Initial reaction was to high of A Pressure for the spr

| We intend to use VOC free fluxe in our nytro machine. Does anybody know if there can be problems with water ie. solvent residues in the tunnel. Perhaps there are some white papers available on that issue. | | | | | Dear Raeto, In my experienc

Smart Sonic's 440-R SMT Detergent cleans all types of solder paste, wet SMD adhesives and post solder flux residue from misprinted PCBs, stencils and tooling. 440-R SMT Detergent is non hazardous and is certified by the Air Quality Management Distri

Hello everyone! We just completed some 16-layer boards and noticed (after wave soldering) that there are some unique, white-ish discolorations. It looks as if someone layed their finger at weird angles on the groundplane areas. It is NOT finger prin

We have not yet sent this out for analysis, So, I don't really know what it is. initial evaluation would lead me to believe that it is flux since it is only present on the solder joints themselves and nowhere else. I noticed that you also mentioned

*the other components are 0402 and SOIC 16, the solderability were good. *the protection on the terminations of microleadframe package is Cu(copper),somebody call that leadless leadframe package(LLP). *the time above 210 deg C is about 10 sec. *I us

Copper teminations with no solderability protection on your LLP. Hmmm seems unusual, but it could be that the flux in your solder paste is not active enough to remove the corrosion on the Cu leads. OMG Microbond solder paste develops white residue

What flux are you using to put them back on? you should be able to adequately clean the site after removal with alcohol or water depending upon the type of flux. "White grungy" usually comes from a liquid flux such as Alpha 857 being squirted on th
