We are using a water soluble flux which requires the assemblies to be cleaned in an ultra sonic cleaner after assembly. Is there a standard that specifies how long the assemblies need to be baked/dried after being submersed in a water solution for a

Our cleaning process involves the assemblies being completely immersed in the water bath of the ultrasonic cleaner. The assembly has a QFP44 on it. Customer stated that when these assemblies have been cleaned with water in the past (at a different

Thanks I guess I got used to google where the "and" is implied. I searched various combinations and all I could find were threads regarding the pcb's not the components. Does anyone bake their boards after wash before second reflow because of MSD c

Hi James, it could be the problem is due to residual of cleaner media entrapped under low gap of QFP 208 and 0,5 mm lead pitch. I remember in the past we had random problems of failure at test after board wash off process (DI Water wash). We met

J-STD-033B.1 Says "For cavity packages in which water may be entrpped, water clean processes after first reflow can be an additional source of moisture. This may present an additional risk, which should be evaluated." And it talks about derating if

We don�t bake between routine washing between soldering cycles. We bake when we immediately go to test or box-build. Certainly, it all depends on your process, materials, and boards. So, how did you determine that you needed to spend the money? I

We baked the board first and print 2 mil water soluble paste at the BGA location and reflow. Wash and baked before the production run.

We had the same problem too. Water would remain under the caps even after a bake out. We saw this numerous times when the caps were removed after the wash and bake. The only fix was to hand solder the large electrolytics.

boards are polyimide, and it is an ipa rinse with the solvent cleaner.
