We assume this is different discussion that the discussion about "crystallized flux under BGA". Correct? Milky residue with water washing makes us think "noclean flux res that just got washed". We know what you said, but we can't help ourselves.

Improper washing of water soluable flux residues can be a major contributor to flux residues remaining on the board surface. ;-O That you appear to be only complaining about the pathetic state of the ability of your washer to clean under BGA, it may

Hi, What contributes to the above? I've got some BGA solder joints with a crystal like flux attached to it like a mini solder ball but do not have a perfect round shape. I had my aqueous cleaner's DI water sent for analysis and everything looks okay

HASL Fluids are generally not RA based fluxes. They are generally fluxes based on hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid or a mixture of the two, plus some very strong wetting agents that are very hygroscopic. Doesn't the residue of hydrochloric go wh

Because the HASL process most deal with bare metals, HASL flux residues are generally more active than solder paste residues. Typically a Rosin Active (RA) flux is used in the HASL process. These flux residues should be removed from the bare board

Additionally, increases in temperature can increase the water's rate of reaction with the flux. Sometimes, only a 5 degree change can make the cleaning difference. If the flux inconsistently presents itself, then the likely cause is something in

Hi Dave, Can you elaborate more on the Saponifier system process and the surface tension during aquaeous cleaning? thanks and regards,

Oh Wow! Thanks a lot guys...I learned a lot from your good and spot on knowledge. You guys are really very helpful. Thanks Dreamy

First Time to solder BGA's using Water Soluble. We are currently using an Aquaeous Cleaner to clean our PCB's but I find it not enough to clean the flux from under our BGA's. Has anyone had this experience before that he may like to share how he mana

Thank you Mike. What is your thinking on the use of surficants, as an alternative to saponifiers, for cleaning under low standoff parts? Dreamy: Adding another point to the low standoff part conversation: If you have cleaning issues with 1.27 BGA,
