In the following thread, http://www.smtnet.com/electronicsforum/view_message.cfm?message=9584& John Thorup touched on some applications where no-clean fluxes could be a bad idea. I'm looking for some more detailed info. (papers, references, texts

Really, if you start out from the beginning planning to clean the boards, then DON'T use the no-clean flux! The way that stuff is made, it leaves a hard, low-solubility residue that takes a LOT of effort to get clean. If you plan to clean, use a wa

Hi Rob, I must take issue with your statement �By definition, no clean solder can be not-cleaned�. All no-clean fluxes can be cleaned. Whether or not one cleans no-clean depends on a variety of factors. More than eighty percent of all post reflow

At my last place of employment, that was the big reason why nobody (especially the Design Engineers) bought into a no-clean process - interference with high-impedance circuits. One guy was so paranoid about flux residues remaining on the board, that

Sorry to disappoint. No-Clean fluxes are resin-based. They are not soluble in water. Water soluble fluxes are by nature Organic Acid and are soluble in water AND must be cleaned within a short period after reflow as they remain conductive and corrosi

We run both No-Clean and Water Soluble boards without any problems. We had problems with solderballs, but adjusted the P&P machines not to push the parts into the paste so much. Home plate apperatures help also. The biggest question is if your cus

Currently I am using a water soluble solder paste and no clean wire solder. For awhile now I have been pushing to switch to no clean across the board. Can anyone give me an idea of how this will effect production? Switching to no clean will allow m

Does that make the board the bone? If so then the components are tendons? I knew I should've stayed awake in Bio! Flux manufacturer eh... Is it true that flux is made in big vats by witches?
