We have had success removing white residue. A change of chemical (PCB-Wash or Vigon A200) have a good track record in removing white residue. As Dave stated, we (and others) operate a contract cleaning service. Contact me offline and I�ll provide

| At this moment in time we are using water soluble solder paste on our PCBs these are cleaned using water only, agitated with ultrasonics. After drying a white/grey residue is left around solder joints. Reflow profile is fine and a reliable wash pro

What you are most likely dealing with: Insufficient Pure Sn layer ( multiple causes ) Because elevated temperatures accelerate the diffusion process, the thickness of the Pure Sn layer will reduce during every thermal cycle... ( bakeing PCBs, S

First, we assume the white residue is only on the connector and not on other components. That would imply that either: * White stuff was on the connector when it came in-house from your supplier. [Confirm this theory by baking some connectors from

We have a current problem on our packages after we bake it for 24 hrs prior BGA rework. Flux or white residues found on the connector leads and terminals that cause not contact problems during mating. Could you help us how to clean the fluxes properl

So, after the repair of a BGA, you notice white reside on a nearby connector. Correct? [Sorry we're so dense. Long day.] Tell us about: * Flux class used in repair * Flux class used in original assembly Why are you baking the assembly after repair

thanks for your reply, actually we bake the PCB assembly prior the rework because the package was exposed for quite some time already. The baking time was 24hrs @ 125 deg.C. We notice that there were flux residues on the connectors after the baking.

As we understand it, you: * Get some nice BGA from your supplier * Find BGA to be packaged properly * Bake the BGA for 24 hours at [what temperature?] to reduce the potntial for damaging moisture sensitive components during following processes * Remo

Some boards that are populated by one of our subcontractors are getting a white powdery residue forming on them. I think it is the non clean flux and process which they are using that is causing the problem. Their process is as follows. Flux is put i

The white residue can be caused by putting Alcohol on the no clean product. Some people will attempt to clean an area they have reworked.
