Some boards that are populated by one of our subcontractors are getting a white powdery residue forming on them. I think it is the non clean flux and process which they are using that is causing the problem. Their process is as follows. Flux is put i

The white residue can be caused by putting Alcohol on the no clean product. Some people will attempt to clean an area they have reworked.

We are trying to produce a PC Card bus assembly with a 672 pin BGA on one side. These pcb's are .015 thick. I believe the ball pitch is .5mm. The pcb's are plated with white tin. The pcb's are in a 1 X 3 array. We had 2 plates with appropriate cutout

OK, OK. 672 ball BGA. The pcbs are PC Card bus size and are .015 thick. There are 3 on a panel with about 1/2" between and rails. The aluminum plates are about 3" by 7". There are 3 cutouts which allow for the parts from either side to protrude du

More information would be helpful. For instance: * Talk about the distribution of the problem, including a single lot or from various lots and over components and component types on the board * Tell us about the board (ie, thickness, type, solder ma

Recently on one product, I found a white residue on the solder joints only that is more of a gray in color. Our lab told us it was a tin oxide with an unknown organic. This is with a lead free OA paste and it only shows after wash. Has anyone seen
