Good morning Dr. Lee. I was wondering how flux chemistries have changed, or will change, with the transiton to Pb-Free, given the higher reflow temperatures required for SMT assembly?

You have a lot to think about! What does the flux manufacturer recommend as far as specifics like water temp or pressure? Do they recommend high temp di-water a detergent or saponifier? Do you currently have a cleaning machine, batch cleaner or inl

If you have flux deposits on the cooling plates, try out Zestron's VIGON RC101...It is an extremely good product especially for reflow ovens and wave solder systems. Check it out...Minimal maintenance water based chemistry with no flash point...Much

Quick question, how are you measuring the effectiveness of the cleaning process to remove the flux?

Hello Jeff, If you have components on your board be careful of how low the frequency is that you will be applying to your board. Ultrasonics are great for cleaning stencils and bare boards at around 40kHz. These frequencies (and Lower)may however

As am doing screening right now, am not measuring the total cleanliness yet, i just observe by taking photos (FYI, am varying speed for conveyor belt for cleaning) and see whether the flux is able to be removed by certain parameters. the speed am usi

Hi, I am doing my master degree in flux cleaning process for flip chip assemblies and required to establish a new receipt for flux cleaning. currently, i am doing screening process for the parameters involve ; temp,pressure, surfactants, speed and a

Grant, No-Clean paste + IPA = White Residue! #1: Stop using IPA #2: Switch to either a solvent-based de-fluxing chemical or an aqueous-based de-fluxing chemical. If you are using an ultrasonic cleaner for your boards as stated, do not use sapon

Dear Ing, Have you analyzed why some RF device aren't operational after washing? An assumption is that failures are related to the ultrasonic energy applied. Other possibilities are for poor rinsing, poor drying, inadequate washing on those failed

The answer for us at my previous employer was water soluble flux. Wash the board, no residue. If you're not set up to wash (needing a washer, DI water source, waste treatment, ventilation, etc.) it can be expensive and space consuming. Do some resea
