It realy depends on what no-clean you use, I had on that would get under IC's and not get fully activated it was fine here in the states but when it was shipped over seas the salt air and humidity gave us fits, another we used didnt have that problem

Is there any harm in washing SMT soldered with NoClean paste? The PCA has some large thru-hole connectors that we would prefer to do as water soluble on out selective solder but the SMT consists of LGA's and other low parts that we would not be able

OK� Nap time�s over! Technically speaking, water soluble flux is just that, soluble in water. Technically speaking, one does not need a saponifier or any other chemical agent to remove water soluble (OA) flux residues. However, one must conside

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

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

I think you can effectively clean under any other low standoff device. It's an issue of surface tension, pressure, and flow rate. DI water is the starting point, but the surface tension of straight DI water makes it difficult to get under low stand

Hi Dave, Can you elaborate more on the Saponifier system process and the surface tension during aquaeous cleaning? thanks and regards,

Murray "No-clean" fluxes/pastes should not normally give "white residues". Before exploring cleaning, which is costly for small production levels, I suggest you may care to find out why you have these residues. To help you, can you please answer th

Thank you Mike. What is your thinking on the use of surficants, as an alternative to saponifiers, for cleaning under low standoff parts? Dreamy: Adding another point to the low standoff part conversation: If you have cleaning issues with 1.27 BGA,

Oh Wow! Thanks a lot guys...I learned a lot from your good and spot on knowledge. You guys are really very helpful. Thanks Dreamy
