No clean residues can range in appearance from brownish gunk that looks like tree sap (because it is in some instances) to almost no residue at all. Is this product exposed to a wave soldering process or SMT? I would guess it's a wave process if th

Your supplier�s approach to managing process change is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!! Now, let me get the froth back in my mouth. How in the world do we know if the residues on these "no-clean" boards are compatible with your product? J-STD-001C, para 4

Omid, No-clean fluxes need to be used right out of the can without thinning. In the past with RA and RMA fluxes you could adjust or thin them to your desired density because they had plenty of solids up to 30%. No-Clean fluxes have a lot lower solid

Comments are: * Sounds like it's necessary to clean "heareous F381, F352 no clean solder paste" in your application. Consider a paste that may be better suited to your application. * If you're cleaning "low residue flux", consider using an organic ac

The propensity for flux residues to cause shorts can be increased in humid environments where water molecules hydrate the surfaces. At high frequencies, electrons travel on the surface of conductors/insulators, increasing the likelihood of shorts in

Matt solder mask finishes gives the widest process window in view of potential amount of residues when using No-Clean. Shiny (glass like) finishes are more sensitive to residues due to lower surface area compared to matt finish. If the shiny finish i

if two boards with different solder masks give different results on flux residue level after soldering with the exact same machine settings than it is clear that one of the solder masks is not compatible with your no-clean flux. could be the solder m

we have two similar pcb from two different pcb manufacturer one of them passed the wave soldering without any short circuit and residue and another one passed it with many residue . don`t you think that the type of solder mask from these two pcb manu

Why yes, I regognize all the best. WML, I have an idea... I am going to call it, the Dunker. Instead of anyone foaming, I will get the wave operators to throw the boards into a rubbermaid tub full of flux/gasoline mixture and send through to the wav

Hi, The guys here have some boards that have been reworked however as we use no-clean paste we are getting the white residue after ultrasonic cleaning. We are using an alcohol based cleaner in the ultra sonic cleaner. Does anyone have any ideas, or
