We use both, cartridges for water soluble and jars for no clean. The only reason we do is so they can't possibly (knocking on my head) mix it up. Pros: Jar - you can put paste back into it if you want to wash your stencil, change jobs after lunch,

In VERY general terms, water soluble flux is usually better at getting good wetting of the soldered connections unless you have a very well controlled process, in which case no-clean can be very handy (you don't have to clean). Water soluble flux re

Who Cares... Mix Away! Although you should not mix different Solder Pastes' together in a container or on a stencil (Mostly due to the flux, although solder sphere size and shape could cause an issue), mixing solder brands or chemistries on a board

You weren�t clear but I assume the problem is not widely distributed and affects only a few parts on each board. Do this trick: * Cut a ~1� piece of fairly serious wire, like 18 or 12 AWG. * Strip the insulation. * Gear-up with gloves, glasses, and

Are you using a water soluble paste? Older generations of water soluble paste are notorious for voiding. Some of the new generation water soluble fluxes allow a much wider process window.

Hi Guys,recently i am facing an issue. Refer to the attached photo. This PCB is high RF speed, gold immersion single layer. After reflow, my solder seems to have black stains on it. I tried with SAC305 paste water soluble and no-clean, both results a
