This is one of the most common questions I get asked. Why clean no-clean flux. It was stated earlier that no-clean residues are benign. This may or may not be accurate. It depends on several factors including the reflow process. In a perfect world, t

Folks, Thanks for all the info and suggestions but let me add a bit more to the pot. Our products work in a harsh environment and are classed as safety critical. Customer returns are our biggest concern, we don't get very many and feeling here seem

I had forgotten that it was you that was on the Sipad adventure. [But then again, who can keep track of yer aliases? ;-)] You just go from one adventure to the next. Expanding On Dave�s Hi-Test Flux Method Theory � PASTE: Yes, contact your favorit

Dreamy, OA fluxes / pastes have differing levels of activity. Most OA fluxes must be cleaned very soon after reflow. OA fluxes and pastes, while offering an aggressive flux package and a relatively easy removal (solubility in water), they are the

Most 1.27 pitch BGA can be cleaned with modern machines. As far as the timing of cleaning OA flux res, obviously the sooner the better. After that different fluxes are different. This must be a common question for cleaning professionals. They pro

| Does anyone have any recommendations on spray fluxers? Are there major differences between the high priced ultrasonic machines to the low priced flux/air spraying machines? We are going to be spraying an OA flux with 11% solids content. Are there a

To answer your question it was mentioned that allowing the boards to cool slightly between reflow and wash may help this case to eliminate thermal shock from immediately going into colder water straight out of the oven with no cooling. In looking at
