New pcba supplier sent us first article pcbas (SMT, Wave & hand solder operations) that failed our testing due to no-clean flux residues found under ICs and around passive capacitors. Second lot came in and had 100% pass yield, but we still see a cl

ROSE testing a post-reflow assembly which has been reflowed using no-clean flux may not yield information that is helpful. No-clean flux technology works by encapsulating the flux's activators and other chemical constitutes that would be harmful if l

Yes, you can place a BGA in flux and get good reflow. However, depending on BGA type and size you should expect a yield loss due to coplanarity issues. Having the paste on the pad definately helps your yield.

Ladies and Gents: There have been several studies including (http://www.solder.net/PDFs/LeadFree_BGATesting_InitialCycling_BEST.pdf) which have shown lower fast pass yields with solder paste. Based on internal projects of 1000+ of the same BGAs we a

1. Most ionic testing is measured in NaCl, that is, the ionic residues are quantified in terms of NaCl equivalence. The test does not determine what the ionic residue is, just its relative strengh. 2. I use IPC cleanliness specs on OA fluxes but n

I've a query. I have one new Customer whom insisted us to use RMA paste on their product. The problem is, on some of their products they use via hole as the test point in where all the PCB finished are ENTEK and as usual I have to print solder paste

Potential impacts of using expired solder paste are [University of Bolton]: * Changed paste rheology. Result: poor print quality * Loss of solvents. Result: reduced flux activity * Changed flux formulation. Result: More difficult to clean flux residu

Hi John, A primary consideration is the type of flux you are using. If it's water soluble (organic acid) then cleaning is highly recommended. Any other flux that fails the copper mirror test, we'd strongly recommend cleaning. Passing the copper m

Thank you for kindness advice. From the result of IC after pass the reflow process. The color of letter will change to similar color of material compound of IC. Then when we inspection by AOI machine, we have many problem about high fault reject rate
