Bow & twist for bare boards and panels: IPC-A-610 1.5% for PTH only and 0.75% for SMT. So, what are you doing to these poor boards to make them warp?

The use of booties isn't required per se, just considered a standard step necessary to reach the 10,000 target. You also need to vacuum (central vac system, NOT exhausting into the room) daily, mop weekly, have a one piece floor, blah, blah, blah....

We are looking to have some PCBs (bare and assembled) independently tested for cleanliness. Our mfg facility is in Malaysia. Can anyone recommend a test house capable of testing to IPC-6012, IPC-5701, etc.

First, SIR data is heavily dependant on the test pattern selected. Be very careful when comparing the results of resistance readings taken from different geometric patterns. Second, if yer talkin': * Bare boards, yupper. * Finished assemblies impor

From personal experience, if the PWB vendor is cutting costs and doing their final rinse with tap water instead of DI you will get ionic contaminants left on the board. You might consider having CSL, or one of the other independent labs mentioned e

We are interested in doing some further studies on our cleaning process, particularly with respect to how well we can clean underneath low profile components. As an SMT subcontractor, we'd ideally like to qualify our chemistry/cleaning process to cer

Hi Well you already got good answers with some diversity, yet from what I read they are giving you the answers for Assembled PWBs, i.e. post solder or PWAs. I don't remember ever doing this for raw boards. For most of the current pwb finishes it se

Considering only Ionic residues is very dangerous, most heat transfer fluids that are extremely hygroscopic are also non ionic especially those used in HASL / Roller Tinning fluids. Also consider if the resist is cured or in fact porous which absorbs

Bare board cleanliness is still primarily measured by resistivity of solvent extract (ROSE) using instruments such as Omegameters and Zero Ions. What is considered as "acceptable" cleanliness varies between specification and from company to company.
