I am a PCB Designer and I have to put a note on the assembly drawing to tell the assembler how to clean the board. This is new to me. Here is a sample note. Can someone give me some feedback on it? "Use water washable, no clean solder paste for t

We autoclave our medical PC boards (Sorry Bad Joke). With the Steam process I am concerned that the water (Solution) is not Clean. So I am curious to the process of steam cleaning: Is It Presure Steam? is the Water DI, ION free, street water...? you

Of course there are solvents which are less harmful to the environment than others. The operative phrase is �less harmful�. As a rule, water-based chemistries are �greener� than solvents. There are some solvent blends designed for aqueous-based eq

I've never heard of steaming a board either. You said that steaming cleans it better after the wash process. What is the steaming process cleaning that the washer isn't, flux residue, solder balls, or what? Also, try and identify the main difference

I am curious on some opinions on cleaning of boards. We have a board wash but after the wash we still need to stem them for better cleaniness. The timed steaming is prox. 2 mins a side and by the way this is a medical board. So if you got and suggest

Thinner: Flux thinner, NOT paint thinner We kept a spare stone in thinner in inventory. We cut PVC pipe to size, cap in one end, screw thread on the other, stone inside, filled with flux thinner and covered with a screw cap. I don't remember who we

...ahh....memory lane. 10 years ago I worked on a project for a customer who needed a low cost, high volume board for RFID tags for cows (yes, moo). These boards were 0.50 inch in diameter, 50 per panel, double sided SMT punch style fabs. 300,000 b
