I am experiencing sporatic de-wettting issues, so I have been thinking about ways to clean fully assembled circuit boards that have open switches, contacts, etc. I also suspect that that plastic bodied components have residual silicone mold release

A lot of our dewetting is happening on plastic body components, such as ICs. When they are manufactured, the molding process requires a mold release to make the part release after molding. Usually, the release agent is silicon based, but you can't

First, what's wrong with some dewetting of conformal coating on component bodies? Second, there are chemistries that might be able to remove silicone mold release, but cleaning the chemistry is not easy without affecting the whole board, as you impl

In general, cleaning with deionized water is acceptable for most component. Open switches and contacts, in general, do not get damaged in this process. A good drying is required, of course, after washing. However, you've described dewetting issues

The company I represent provides electronic manufacturing services. Some of my customers ask that we ship their boards "un-tested". By un-tested I mean we build them, visually inspect them and out they go. I find that on un-tested boards, it's not

In my experience, the most commonly accepted theory is that 100% inspection is only 80% effective AT BEST. That means that if your inspoectors are happy, noy outside concerns, well-rested, etc, they will catch 80% of the defects. This number goes d

Tim, What Brian writes is all true. However, let em put it into a sales / marketing perspective..... The REAL issue in your situation is: Who is responsible for the failures which WILL result in shipping untested product? Typically, your customer

My second assembly order on ALLPCB.com is ready to finish soon. I need to provide HS CODE for the custom clearance process this time due to the large amount. Anyone knows the code for this ? At present, I know the ones for 1-2 layer should be 8534009

This is a question for those of you who actually assemble components onto a board. Any idea what the "industry standard" is for fall out on assembled PCB's? I realize that the controls put in place in your processes will effect your overall quality
