Thank you guys for your help, I do not clean any on my assemblies who are build by the SMT an wave soldering department, we do used liquid fluxes Kester 951 and cored wire keester 245, usually it�s for batteries connector, led, terminal and wire rap

Really, if you start out from the beginning planning to clean the boards, then DON'T use the no-clean flux! The way that stuff is made, it leaves a hard, low-solubility residue that takes a LOT of effort to get clean. If you plan to clean, use a wa

Dear SM Rookies, Another acceptable test method is visual inspection. IPC-A-610 details what to look for with different contaminants, providing magnified pictures of the possible visual residues. With an existing cleaning process, magnification

Hi I have a funny feeling that Mike Konrad and I know each other from IBM-Endicott days, yet I could be wrong. It would be funny?? Mike gave a good answer. The Rosin or Rosin Mildly Activated Flux (RMA) if on the board at ICT (In Circuit Test) wil

There are chemistries out there that will solublize some post-solder NC flux residues. I have had success with Zestron material Vigon A200 and Petroferm material Hydrex DX. Go to http://www.zestron.com and http://www.petroferm.com These are chemical

We'd suggest listening to your CSP component supplier. The standoff is too low. Check with your flux suppliers for the information you seek.

Hi Scott - No clean assemblies have a very low tolerance for processing residues, and long term reliability is compromised if residues from incoming bare boards, components, or un-solublized flux residues are not dealt with. It is critical to contro

Bruno The real question about your troop using Kester 951 wave solder flux on boards is: how is the flux applied and controlled. See, when you apply this flux with your wave solder fluxer, it is ideally applied in a metered fashion with your fluxer
