You may want to ask Zestron to be sure. We have a batch cleaner with pure DI water. The first time we cleaned some of these boards in it we had a bit of a mess around the cleaner.

| Very shortly I will be evaluating OA flux and aqueous cleaning to replace our RMA and solvent cleaning process. I am primarily interested in batch aqueous cleaners for reasons of budget, floor space, etc. I am concerned about the ability of H2O t

Well... Some are worse than others... How can you identify that it is caused by uncured mask and not flux residues? The flux is from indium, 3592. Some research in their tech library revealed that either Kyzen or Zestron would work, which is the re

| I know this topic has probably been talked about before...But I ran into a small situation where Solder Balls were appearing in large quantities on the PCB....the Problem has been isolated and taken care of, my question is, what are some good metho

Cal: What's a "sniffer"? No-Cleaners: * How do clean your board handling racks / carriers? * How do determine the level of residues on your boards? How often do you do that process?

To address the last sentence of the recent posting, Austin American Technology does have experience with board cleaners as described. More recently AAT developed a cleaning system simliar to your description called the AquaBatch. The AquaBatch was

You must leave space around the boards in a batch cleaner or else you will not get them clean enough. About half of what you think you can put in is all that you will end up running. Very hard to get any real through put. Drying times are high also

Chet, We've found the exact opposite. Boards we process in VP are cleaner than convection. Sorry but I cannot provide any meaningful data to back that up though. We conduct SIR testing internally using our high impedance pcba's.

We used to scrape off the paste with a plastic putty knife and then place the boards in our Smart Sonic stencil cleaner that we used to clean the stencils in. It worked well.

Hello. I would like to know the difference (if any) between water soluble flux and test socket cleaners (e.g. for Burn-In Board test sockets). As far as I know, they both remove oxides (tin & copper) with an activator, solvent and surfactants. Tha
