Randy's correct. If you were soldering to nickel with WS609, you would be complaining about non-wetting, not lumpy solder flow.

The more we think about this, the more we think you should join the 20th century and upgrade from your good ol' WS609. We know this will be tough. We used the stuff for 10s of years.

We see delamination at Mold compound to substrate interface when tested for MSL3. We haven't tested the substrate for cleanliness. Can you please suggest methods for this? thanks, arun

Bruce: We know Arun is not cleaning the board properly. Arun does not know how to determine if the board is clean. Arun doesn't know how long to clean the board. Apparently, you do. Tell Arun the answers.

Does anyone have any information or experience soldering of class 3 products with WS fluxes. We are currently leaning toward Alpha WS609 flux, however the customer's interpretation of J-Std-001C feels that type 'H' fluxes (WS) are not allowed. Any

Dave F....BOGUS BOGUS BOGUS What compatability issue could there possibly be if the flux is removed during wash???? Why on EARTH would you leave ANY WS flux residue on the board? A recipie for disaster! Beef up the cleaning process, test for contami

My operator applied flux gel ALPHA WS-609 on MG P/N FTH101XAP (CAP ALUM 100UF 50V 20% SMD) before aqueous washing the PCBAs. Solder paste used was ALPHA WS-820. Now the caps have yellow stains. Any solution to this is appreciated. Tks
