We have an Ionograph 500 M SMD II tester. A couple of months ago, it began failing bare boards at a very high rate. We use 10ug/in2 as our standard. Typically we would fail, maybe one board every 6 months. In the past two months, at least 15 boar

| If I clean my assembly and find no visable contamination with the unaided eye, do I need to do cleanliness testing prior to conformal coating? | Douglas, It is highly advisable to test for ionic contaminants because a coating seals in as well as

Wayne, I think Dave and Justin are correct but I would just add my twopennworth: Your customer presumably wants to know if the end-product will be reliable? If he/she wants you to prove cleanliness, ask them for the spec they want to work to and app

Blimey that's a problem and a half. Water Solubles will look completely different residue wise than No Cleans, pending age and solids contents No Cleans will go white powdery - watersolubles will stay oily Alternatively process reworked PCB's through

Hi, Although I grit my teeth it does sound like a normal process engineer or engineering situation. Here you are with knowledge and ways to get knowledge of best practices and No One listens. ----- Now I have a cleanliness testing joke (real sto

Sylvia, I believe you will find that contrary to Scott Cooks submission, that the work carried out by Robert Clark of Hughes Missile Systems at (then) Tuscon Arizona formed the basis of the MIL-F-14256 spec which "Qualified?" or at least "Approved" O

Hi GS, Just a clarification� No-clean does NOT equal no ions. It equals less ions (at best). Automatic R.O.S.E (Resistivity Of Solvent Extract) testers are commonly used to detect ionic contamination from no-clean applications. Your comment rega
