Hello, I am automating a process on our floor from wire solder hand application to dispensed paste and reflow. The process involves "lidding" a shielding lid around our assemblies for microwave quieting. The result is non-hermetic. For cosmet

My company currently uses water soluble paste for our SMT process. We were having trouble retaining hot water in our in line, closed loop DI cleaner. The cleaner kept shutting down when the water temp. dropped below 125C. As a result, the conveyor

John, As Dave says, never clean raw paste. Let it sit for at least 24 hrs if you can and use a plastic spatula to wipe off the bulk of it. The "drier" the paste the easier it is to remove without it travelling down vias etc. You will then have to cho

The criterion you use will depend on the test method you select. For minimum requirements, look at J-STD-001C, Para 8, "Cleanliness Requirements". I figure that you�d measure the residues on a lot of your current product, measure the res on a lot o

Hello Netters, I need some info, Earl or Dave, I have a PCB that exhibits a white layer on solder side. It does not appear to be surface residues (IPA has no effect), but looks like its under solder mask. My first guess is that the LPI solder mask

| Hi, | I have a customer who's electronic assemblies produce RF. He is insisting upon aqueuos cleaning. We switched to a no clean solder years ago and no longer have an aqueous system. | Is aqueous cleaning necessary to eliminate 'cross talk' of

Casimir: Let me expand on something that I said in my response to your thread on ionic testing. Generally, no-clean people don�t use ROSE testing as part of their process control, because the ROSE test is essentially washing your board in DI/IPA �
