Does anybody knows if there is any reaction if I clean OA solder/flux residues using Isopropilic Alcohol? Is there any chemical recomended to clean residues manually instead of using a washing machine.

From part documentation: CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS A no clean solder system is recommended for IHLP's. If cleaning must be performed, an Isopropyl alcohol is recommended. If de-ionized Water Wash is used insure it is followed by a thorough warm air dry c

I use a alcohol rag and compressed air to blow out them via holes. I think washing is over rated. A simple wipe is all you need. Plus it keeps the planet green which is what everyone seems to be squacking about these days. Thats why I wash one a

Jaqueline There are so many variables in the electronic assembly manufacturing process involving more than 12 different chemistries, that it is impossible to easily identify and determine the nature and reason of such residues. GEC Hirst Research in

Shanelo Technologies Given that isopropyl alcohol [IPA] is produced by combining water and propene. How does soaking a board in water and a flammable liquid drive off water?

You need to switch to an alcohol based stamp. It will work cause that's what we use.

Thanks folks. The current vendor is doing an alcohol wash, top and bottom, then performing an ionic test on 100 boards. I'm not to confident in the testing because the readings for a "clean" board are 25 ugm/sq in and a "dirty" board are 40 ugm/sq in

Short of buying a closed look wash system, what other machines/processes are available for localized removal of flux that is not operator intensive. already familiar with Branson ultrasonics and just washing in alcohol but what else is out there?

I've worked at several companies that have used Smart Sonic ultrasonic cleaners. About a year ago, we purchased the Smart Sonic 1550 and Enviroguard. The Enviroguard produces DI water for rinsing and also handles the solder waste. Also, Smart Sonic h

Michelle, Our experience with no-clean solder pastes has been that water washing a mis-print is a bad idea. We've found that DI water does not do a sufficient job removing the no-clean paste (the same goes for stencils). Instead, we have washed no
