Just to add to what dave said, the only limitation to how frequently you clean is the cost of the cleaning medium. You can wipe every board if you want to, but you'll go through material accordingly. If you're printing 16mil pitch or smaller, cleani

Hi experts, I asked our chinese board manufacturer about their recommended procedure to clean miss-printing. The answer was that they use Absolut Alcohol while use IPA currently and we are moving to a water based cleaning agent with ultrasound. Th

I am looking for an industry standard �stock� note to place on our printed circuit board assembly drawings that will capture a level of cleanliness for an IPC-A-610 class 2 board assembly. I�m looking for some quantitative spec for cleanliness that w

I'm not sure why anyone would pay extra for FG (fine grain) stencils. I've run studies comparing traditional YAG laser, fiber laser, and E-form stencils with regular stainless, FG, and nickel foils. YAG is the worse and should only be used for pret

Dear Larry, I developed the ultrasonic cleaning process for Smart Sonic. It has developed into the most widely used stencil and misprinted PCB cleaning process worldwide. With that in mind, I offer some words of caution. "IT'S NOT THE ULTRASONICS!
