I got an inquiry from one of our electronics labs with regards to their soldering processes. They use eutectic (63% Sn, 37% Pb) solder. For liquid flux they are currently using Kester 186, which is an old-school, full rosin (RMA and ROL1) flux that c

Hi, We are planning to use RMA flux based Solder Paste for our line. We are currently using a No-Clean Solder Paste. Can I use an aqueous cleaner to clean my board with the above paste ? How will I clean the board ? What are the advantages and disad

Did you check to see if the manufacturer's recommended reflow profile varied significantly for the new flux?

Hi Dave, If my solder paste is RMA based and my Wave Solder flux is NC Based, will there be incompatibility problem that might arise during the process? thanks

Hi Dave, If my solder paste is RMA based and my Wave Solder flux is NC Based, will there be incompatibility problem that might arise during the process? And if i don't clean my boards what will be the possible effects of the residues left? thanks

Same query: Do we really need to clean the board with when using RMA ? I've been told that aqeous is not needed to clean the board, what cleaner is suitable and how?

If you do not have one of the big in-line aqueous cleaners, then there is an easier way that is a lot less expensive. I suggest you try Asahi's AK-225T vapor degreasing solvent which has been around for 10 years now. And it is legal. If you have

I have recently started to use RMA flux (customer requirement) for some of our projects. I am finding that some of my BGAs are slightly off. Not enough to be rejected but enough to cause concern. In the past I have been able to rely on the surface te
