we received assembled PCBs with spots that look like a bleach spots all over the PS and CS . The board house said that this is normal due to flux aqueous wash process. Can it cause problems (e.g. corrosion ) in the long run or cause issues when wor

Solder mask is intended to protect the traces from the soldering process. That's it. [Tried to upload a picture. It's broken.]

I wanted to bump this up. I am having the same problems. I cannot convince folks it is a solder mask issue and not our process issue, even though it shows up after wave and wash. I can heat the boards and even send them back through the wave preheate

I remembered something from the TechNet a long time ago about heating the board with a heat gun to see if the white spots disappear. I searched the archives and found this from Bill Kenyon: Quick identification of solder mask white spots- if it is t

What does the filter housing smell like (inside)? How often do you change filters? The smell is probably from organic growth. Do you have slime growing on the inside walls below the water line? Does the bleach temporarily fix the problem? What is

Using a flux pen sounds like a good idea. Comments are: * I assume you�re talking aqueous flux. If not, some NC flux pens leave white residues. Nearly all of 15 samples suffered to varying degrees with white residues. * Use the same flux that you

Did you get any dulling of the solder joints at all or importantly was the resist discoloured or bleached after cleaning. It is possible to absorb flux and saponifier into the resist and this will definately cause poor SIR or electromigration especia
