Hi, I could like to find out what are the things need to look out if I'm doing a new SMT solder paste ( water soluble & no-clean ) evaluation. And also flux ( spray type ) for wave-solder ( water soluble & no-clean ). Appreciate for all the input..

Matt solder mask finishes gives the widest process window in view of potential amount of residues when using No-Clean. Shiny (glass like) finishes are more sensitive to residues due to lower surface area compared to matt finish. If the shiny finish i

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

Omid, No-clean fluxes need to be used right out of the can without thinning. In the past with RA and RMA fluxes you could adjust or thin them to your desired density because they had plenty of solids up to 30%. No-Clean fluxes have a lot lower solid

if two boards with different solder masks give different results on flux residue level after soldering with the exact same machine settings than it is clear that one of the solder masks is not compatible with your no-clean flux. could be the solder m

Grant, Why don't you try a water-base flux which is No-clean, VOC-free also? I have tried the 270WR flux from AIM with good results even on lead-free process. My $0.02, George

Yikes!! In-line cleaning, to clean cosmetic and benign residues (from a NO-CLEAN) flux... You sure you can't switch fluxes? Another variable with residues is the solder mask. Depending on mask type (glossy, matte, semi-gloss, or semi-matte), will

I have a customer that is having a flux residue problem after wave soldering. Flux is roaring through the board to the top side and leaving a residue. This is only happening on the flat stamped leads. The round leads are fine. They are using Supe

Glenn, There are both very good VOC-Free fluxes as well as alcohol based fluxes out there. This should be your primary focus if you are so lucky as to have to opportunity to actually select a flux! The use of nitrogen will benefit any no-clean pro

A little more information on your current wavesoldering process would be helpful in helping you. Information like what kind of flux your are using,how you are applying the flux,what preheat temps you are using,and your conveyor speed. Without knowing
