Well i guess you would not have to dry the boards but let me ask this, Are you hand cleaning water soluble flux in a sink? Never seen a cleaner without a dryer. Anyway temp and time for drying is easy to figure out. When boards are dry you have i

So what are your current drying parameters? can you adjust temp and time? is this a batch cleaner that may have some shadowing from the way it is loaded causing hot air to not hit certain boards? Russ

It depends on the water quality of your final rinse too. Too dirty and pools of water will trap residues on your board. If let to evaporate, these residues can stay on your board.

Not to be funny, but can't you use a dishwasher ? They are cheap. The only worry there may be water spots, but if you blow your boards dry with an air hose I think they will be OK.

Se�or Tech If you want clean board using a dish waher, you must run deionized water. If you run DI water through a dishwasher, it will cut through those flimsy pipes like fire driven by Sana Anna Winds through dry brush.

| At this moment in time we are using water soluble solder paste on our PCBs these are cleaned using water only, agitated with ultrasonics. After drying a white/grey residue is left around solder joints. Reflow profile is fine and a reliable wash pro

Jaqueline There are so many variables in the electronic assembly manufacturing process involving more than 12 different chemistries, that it is impossible to easily identify and determine the nature and reason of such residues. GEC Hirst Research in

Our cleaning process involves the assemblies being completely immersed in the water bath of the ultrasonic cleaner. The assembly has a QFP44 on it. Customer stated that when these assemblies have been cleaned with water in the past (at a different

Should drying be done after aqueous wash? If so, how long and at what temperature?

We are using a water soluble flux which requires the assemblies to be cleaned in an ultra sonic cleaner after assembly. Is there a standard that specifies how long the assemblies need to be baked/dried after being submersed in a water solution for a
