Hey folks, I have a few designs that I'm using a MEMS I2S microphone on, and the PCBs have to be cleaned as I use water based SAC305 - but the supplier states to NOT ultrasonically clean their microphones. Has anyone here been through the process of

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, there are 2 issues with adding them after: - The first is that doesn't scale to 1000's of board - The second is that half (or more) of the boards are double sided, complete PCB coverage on both sides and nee

I agree with everyone here that says microphones are meant for no clean processes. Nothing will protect the device from an inline or batch wash. The mic should have been mounted on a different board if it must be washed. The one suggestion I have is

This is a very challenging situation indeed. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer of the component? I know of one time in the past we had a reflow issue and contacting the manufacturer actually proved insightful. I have seen claims using Diamon

So, a couple of things... First, you're asking about water washing a part, but, note that the manufacturer says to NOT ultrasonically clean their microphones. Those can be two different cleaning types...assembly shops using water wash may not be us

Hey Rob, I am the designer and manufacturer of my own products - and I clean every product that leaves my premises because I hate receiving products with flux residue on them, so I wont ship products that way - It's my own standard I imposed on myse

Hi there! I'm an engineering student from Toronto, ON looking for someone to mount a MEMS microphone for me for a school design project. Trouble is, I need a reflow oven for the proper surface mount and my university doesn't have access to one. K

break-out the old toaster oven! apply solder paste to board place part and re-flow in toaster oven. those things re good for more than just pot pies and toaster strudel.
