I know this is not SMT related but would anyone care to comment on Alpha 856 flux, good/bad experiences or any known issues? I did some samples recently using it and had excellent results. Information on it seems a little hard to find and it makes

I have been using Alpha 856 for about 8 years. It is an excellent flux. Today we are using it in a new flow solder machine that has a spray fluxer and it seems to be working fine. I can be contacted at jlalicker@amitulsa.com

I use Alpha 857 W.S. for wave is that what you mean? If so, I love this stuff, it solders everything. one downside to it is convection (wave , rework) can dry it out and leave white hazes and even residues at the joints.

Hi Russ, Thanks for the reply. No this is 856, I sprayed some on boards just to try it out and noticed it dries very quickly also but if its soldered right away as would be the case in the machine, it's fine. I believe I tried some 857 and found th

Grant, Newer lead-free fluxes have 6%-10% solids content - more activator, therefore leave more "visible" residues. Old technology tin-lead fluxes got down to as low as around the 4%-6% range (I'm going off memory, so me might be wrong)... You'll

My company is just getting into the flip chip packaging arena. We are putting in a prototype/small volume wire bond PBGA line. We have some questions with regard to choosing solder balls and cleaning of flux. 1) Is there a formula for the shrink
