Get the ionic specs from your flux manufacturer, and show it to the designer. No-clean flux/solder is supposed to be low to minimal in ionic contamination, which allow the whole no-clean thing. If he needs further proof, you can have the board io

The low solids flux that is commonly called no-clean can affect some circuits. We are building a PCB that measures pico amps. The customer required that it be cleaned. We would rather used the low solids and eliminate a step. The customer had

Looking for any reliability data on aqueous flux residue causing low Z defects, specifically any data that may illustrate life expectancy under any humidity/temp environment. How long it takes for conductive material to migrate and form low Z impedan

Hi: Many 75ALS573DW parts we reveived lately from one of our vender have some problem with its pin 2, an output pin of the tranciever ( probably resulting from EOS damage). Its impedance verse GND should be normally 3M ohm up. The parts we have measu

You will not see any reduction in quality. Some of the only reasons to hold off on converting to SMD packaging is Cost and availability. The cost normally runs about 30% more and the lead times are about 2 times as long for SMD. For that reason you w

Hello, This is interesting topic that I would like to share and discuss with you.. I came across few projects from various SMT factories where its product(Computer) reach field, experience No Post/boot defect. This problem become very obvious when

Hi Jeff Actually it's not necessarily Signal to Noise Ratio or even RF circuitry. All no cleans leave behind residue by description. This residue can affect RF or other high frequency circuits in a number of different ways including SNR. Very high

We have seen leakage currents around parts that have high impedance. Evidently with a small amount of moisture, weak organic acids present in the flux residue can cause a low leakage.

Chunks, I used to work in power electronics, and we had this design engineer who used to "blow moisture" on the high-impedance circuit and test for cleanliness. We were water washing in a OA-Water Soluble environment. He was convinced that there w
