Hi, We are running lead free at wave solder now and the spray flux system is down. If we are going to able the flux manually, what problem will we be facing with the excess flux able. Appreciate for the advise.

Dear JSK, It sounds like the root causes of your problem are two fold. First, excessive heat will polymerize the abietic acid found in rosin forming neo-abietic diamers and polymers which are much less soluble than the parent monomer. There are

Hi Davef, Thanks for your advise...... We are running no-clean process. If there is white residues after few days.....is it cause by those excess flux. Thanks

If you're washing the boards properly, you should see any problems, maybe a little extra floaming, but that won't be too bad. If you're running no clean, you need to aplly flux according to your supplier's recommendations. If you decide not to foll

That would be our first guess, also. Get the stuff analyzed to be sure. Another clue is if the white stuff disappears when you hit it with hot air from a rework station. The hot air is activate the flux. Good troubleshooting tool, but you're subj

Hi. We are currently using an unconventional method to rework a micro BGA - removing component with hot air, fluxing the area, placing the part with pick and place, then reflowing it in the oven. The reason we are doing it this way and not with a r

Excess low residue flux is very dangerous to leave on your finished assembly, because it can: * Be corrosive to your solder connections * Promote dendrite growth. To prevent this, follow your supplier's recommendations on: * Applying the proper amou

Russ, u mean excess flux causes "blow hole" defect?
