Techspray makes a liquid called "Eco-Stencil SMT Stencil Cleaner" and also pre-saturated wipes by the same name. We spray the cleaner on the stencil and then use the wipes to clean the paste off of the stencil. Putting 1 wipe in each hand and rub

The most common rates of in-process cleaning (under wipe) I have encountered are once per 5 to 10 prints. But this depends a on a lot of variables. More often is typically better, but more costly in under-wipe materials. (For some more info see http:

OK, lemme take a different angle on this, �cuz I forgot to touch on this when I first responded. I mentioned a study ["Evaluation of Low Residue Soldering for Military and Commercial Applications: A Report from the Low-Residue Soldering Task Force"

Greetings everyone, I am trying to figure out away to clean our stencils by hand. Unfortunately, we do not have a stencil cleaner due to size and finance of our company. I am using Ionox to clean them daily.But the walls do not come clean. Is this a

Hi, Thanks for the info. The current process is a standard SMT hand soldering process. The time does not include cleaning, prepping and pre-tinning. Its just the time for the re-flow of one joint itself. We are waiting on some new tips to experimen

assuming Sn05Pb93.5Ag1.5 Without knowing what you are trying to solder, PTH or SMT, the time might not be that far off. Does that time include stripping, cleaning, plating the leads prior to soldering onto the board?... pre-tinning the board as well

Thanks for the advice. We have only done one PCB > with HMP solder and did not use preheating, but > I've been wondering if it would have been helpful > since we had some trouble getting the solder to > flow. If you have any more specific advice

Q1 Can anyone explain to me what is the clean and non clean solder? A1 The trend away from CFCs has lead many users to evaluate switching to no-clean soldering processes. The term "no-clean" is actually a common misnomer when used to describe a flux
