Improper washing of water soluable flux residues can be a major contributor to flux residues remaining on the board surface. ;-O That you appear to be only complaining about the pathetic state of the ability of your washer to clean under BGA, it may

Profiles are absolutely the first course of action to validate. A few additional questions would be: * Moisture can cause warping as well, verify the manufacturers recommended handling procedures were followed. * Where is the suspect BGA located

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I run 2 boards, using the same paste, thermal profile and the same method of aqueous cleaning, 1st is a Topline test board with topline BGA (BGA 272 with 1.27 Pitch) and the 2nd is our product PCB with our BGA from Motoro

Thanks for providing the pictures. We evaluated what we could see and have the following idea's. 1) Because of different thermal charatoristics between the topline and your product, your Motorola BGA solder joints may have experienced a higher refl

HASL Fluids are generally not RA based fluxes. They are generally fluxes based on hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid or a mixture of the two, plus some very strong wetting agents that are very hygroscopic. Doesn't the residue of hydrochloric go wh

Because the HASL process most deal with bare metals, HASL flux residues are generally more active than solder paste residues. Typically a Rosin Active (RA) flux is used in the HASL process. These flux residues should be removed from the bare board

Additionally, increases in temperature can increase the water's rate of reaction with the flux. Sometimes, only a 5 degree change can make the cleaning difference. If the flux inconsistently presents itself, then the likely cause is something in

I would recommend the following paper entitled "Cleaning for Reliability Post QFN Rework" by Mike Bixenman (Kyzen) and myself (Aqueous Technologies). While it discussed cleaning under QFN's in a batch environment, it is also applicable to cleaning u

First Time to solder BGA's using Water Soluble. We are currently using an Aquaeous Cleaner to clean our PCB's but I find it not enough to clean the flux from under our BGA's. Has anyone had this experience before that he may like to share how he mana
