Let's be more specific. Why do you need to clean the boards? I assume it is for testing purposes, probe contact concerns and the like. This is the only economical reason I can think of to clean no-clean flux residue from your assemblies. Before y

Downhole solder suggestions, in order of preference are: * Kester Sn96.3Ag3.7. Most vendors do not stock straight tin-silver alloys, whose wallet is that fat? * SAC305 can usually be used in place of one of the copper-free tin-silver alloys in downho

I want to say one more thing on this; many times RoHS is compared to the CFC elimination. But there is a huge difference between the two for following reasons: In late 80�s scientific evidence became available that CFC�s contributed greatly to the o
