Grant, No-Clean paste + IPA = White Residue! #1: Stop using IPA #2: Switch to either a solvent-based de-fluxing chemical or an aqueous-based de-fluxing chemical. If you are using an ultrasonic cleaner for your boards as stated, do not use sapon

Setting up a PCB washing "system" and the facilities required for a cost effective and repeatable cleaning process depend heavily on the application (water soluble versus chemistry cleaning), (batch cleaner versus ln-line) and local factors (quality

Hello John, Some determining criteria. 1. Examine what you are cleaning. Pastes, epoxies, inks, etc. Get the MSDS and samples ready and be prepared to forward them to the manufacturers for testing. They can respond with appropriate system and c

Mike, If your Stencil Wash PLUS product has comparable attributes to the 440-R, why don't you just say so, instead of making each interested party "contact you offline." I thought a forum was for sharing information and not for attempts at a persona

| We have been having an ongoing problems with radial electrolytic capacitors (thru hole)for some time. | 1. When we wash them in our inline cleaners the sleeving shrinks up from the PCB leaving the 'can' exposed. Some designs have traces on the

First, I should state that my company manufacturers batch and inline de-fluxing systems. Because we manufacture both formats, we remain unbiased. In fact, it is in our best interest to recommend inline cleaners since they sell for considerably more

Hi Dave, To close-loop or not to close-loop, that is the question� I can not speak for all machines, but in our case, close-loop systems are actually less costly to operate than open-loop systems (we make both). First, determine the volume of wate

1) why is No-clean (NC) the preferred process, for BGA mounting by SMT? Probably the same reason NC is the preferred process for mounting non-area array SMT components. 2) why is water-soluble (WS) not a hot choice? There�s not reason not to use
