Hi Guys, Have you tried using a standard dish washer for cleaning PCB's with BGA's. What detergent or cleaning chemicals did you used? I wonder if it will work to clean a WS Flux PCB using the dish washer then get it rinsed by an old aqueou cleaner

We use a dish washer system with good success. The only issue is foaming, sometimes this can be a problem. We have be experimenting with antifoaming chemicals. Some success. I would suggest a dish washer system that has ionic system in the wash pump

In the good old days, I've made raw boards at home. Layout the design and then transfer it to a bare copper clad board. Etching it out is the fun part. I grabbed our 9x13 pyrex baking dish from the kitchen. Using metal etching dish doesn't make

I do agree with Mike, if you are looking to purchase a board wash system, do not get a dish washer unit, purchase a system built to wash PCB's not dishes. We had them at the former company I worked at and they worked best. They moved everything to Ch

You just KNOW they used a dishwasher. Whether or not they took the dishes out of it is anyone's guess.

Is there any reason a dish washer would not work? Our volume for this is really low ~20 per month. Currently we use contact cleaner and a brush to clean the contacts on a few connectors. I was thinking about going the Ultrasonic route but wondered if

We use an older industrial dish washer to clean our boards, and it works out pretty well. Economical, at least. I'd like to upgrade to an in-line, but it's not in the budget, yet. We've got ours piped with de-ionized water, and a hot water heater

Hallo We are going to clean PCb after assembly (SMD and THT) due to conformal coating. It is small value production with elements on PCB like BGA, QFP. What you recommend or suggest to use : ultrasonic? , spray wash? or something like dish wash???.

Although water soluble (OA) flux is technically the easiest flux to remove, it is also the most damaging type of flux if not removed. A dishwasher lacks the pressure and nozzle design to produce the very small water particle size required for thorou
