Hi everybody, Is there any criteria as far as No-clean flux residues surrounding solder joints when using selective solder machines? I have a Novastar SPA 400 and use flux NC kester 959. If I decrease the amount of flux, then I experience problems w

You may want to try raising your pre-heater if you have one. I would also suggest trying different fluxes that may be a little more active so you can use less. What type of fluxer are you using? Selective solder flux residue is a gray area. This i

It's possible that the flux residues from the solder paste used in your SMT process is not compatible with your water wash process. For instance, some no-clean fluxes leave resudues that are not water washable. When these residues are washed, they de

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

50�C. * Boards are too hot to be cleaned. Yes, saponified cleaners will remove heat decomposed WS flux. Well, I suggested changing paste to another poster, because he mentioned overheated solder connections and I guessed that his white residue was

I had problems with white residues on both WS609 and WS 3060.The WS 3060 turned out to be a carbonized material.The composition after analysis (Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrum) turned out to be tin,tin,phosphore and cloline and tin. Alpha also have

Greetings All, Anybody out there experiencing white residues after cleaning? We currently use a batch cleaner to clean water soluble fluxes. this cleaner makes its own DI water by means of carbon and resin tanks. After cleaning there are residues

We have not yet sent this out for analysis, So, I don't really know what it is. initial evaluation would lead me to believe that it is flux since it is only present on the solder joints themselves and nowhere else. I noticed that you also mentioned

Dear All, I would like to take your opinion about the result that we have faced after cleaning the PC assemblies in a cleaning machine (Miele Dishwasher) with the cleaning detergent Qualitek Everkleen 1005. We use DI water for cleaning purpose in t

Finally, help for those searching for compatibility A new standard and guideline will make it much simpler for users to determine whether they’ve got the right chemistry to ensure compatibility. April 23, 2012 By Terry Costlow, IPC online edit
