Is it possible to have a no-clean flux that could be removed with water. I would like to use a single flux at wave solder that could satisfy both no-clean and water soluble customers, within a contract manufacturing environment. Thanks, Tim A.

Ok I could not pass this one up so I tried it out today, it didn�t work for me. Could I get more information such as flux type, and sugar concentration? I used Kester RMA 285 and concentration almost to saturation (looked almost like syrup). I wander

No-clean flux residues can be either cleanable or not cleanable. The not cleanable type leave a milky white residue on the solder connection after suitable soaking in water. Your flux supplier will have suggestions on the appropriate flux.

150º de-ionized water, however, if you're doing hobby work at home, regular hot water will be fine. Just be sure to allow the water to dry sufficiently before powering up the board. You can also use IPA or a custom flux cleaning solvent available o

Do we need to clean after hand soldering with no-clean flux solder wire? I am just wondering. The flux is clearly visible. Will there be any long term negative effects on the modules? Is there any IPC requirement on cleaning it? BTW, I talk about

The design engineers I work with are blaming some circuit problems on what they think might be related to the no-clean flux residue. (It couldn't be the design.) Has any body else seen noise issues in high speed circuits related to no-clean flux resi

We use the OM-5100 and wash it with relatively good results. Just dont let it sit longer than a few days before wash. We've used Zestron AC200 and A-250 in a batch cleaner set to 140 wash temp for 8-10 min @ the recommended concentrations. We have h

Consider: * 007 is a no-clean flux. Some no-cleans you can clean, some you can�t. You may be able to use a saponifier & surficant to clean the residue. Check with your flux supplier for recommendations. * 320�C is higher than the 315�C peak for th

I am new to the No-Clean Process. When preforming rework in a No-Clean Process, should the rework technician clean the excess flux used to change a component or place a component missing?

I recently finished analysis of no-clean fluxes and Ionic contamination and cleaning processes. The results were eye opening. Summary: If you clean a no-clean you better do a good job. Many no-cleans produce a "waxy binder" to encapsulate the tro
