Hi, We have problems with our wave soldering process. The problem is that during the same assembly, after wave soldering, some pcb’s look not clean and other pcb’s look good. We use lead free SAC305 solder and flammable flux. We think our proces

Here is something I copied from Circuitnet.com. This appears to answer your question and then some... http://www.circuitnet.com/experts/ Ask the Experts Jul 17, 2006 What type of cleaner method is preferred for lead-free stencils? What type of s

Dear Scott, You are correct in questioning the chemistry portion of the process. However, I am couriuous as to why you selected DEK as a stencil cleaner. The most important part of any cleaning process is always the chemistry. How you deliver the c

In a nutshell, you should be looking for a chemistry first, then look for a machine. Hopefully, they will be from the same source. | Dear Scott, | You are correct in questioning the chemistry portion of the process. However, I am couriuous as to w

Spray cleaners are poor alternatives to todays ultrasonic stencil cleaners. Ultrasonics are the way to go and you can use rather benign water based chemistries to get the job done. As for screening adhesives and cleaning glue residue with spray wands

It should be noted that some of the main reasons to change from manual cleaning to automated stencil cleaning are: � Manual cleaning is not consistent � quality is totally in the operators hands � Contamination left on the stencil and in the aperture
