Using a flux pen sounds like a good idea. Comments are: * I assume you�re talking aqueous flux. If not, some NC flux pens leave white residues. Nearly all of 15 samples suffered to varying degrees with white residues. * Use the same flux that you

When carry out the contamination test,do we measure for Chlorides on water soluble and No-clean fluxes? 1) What is the equivalent factor for machines developed to test the board cleanliness, Omega-meter vs Ionograph vs Zero-ion. 2) What values do we

This paper describes the results of an intensive whisker formation study on Pb-free assemblies with different levels of cleanliness. Thirteen types of as-received surface-mount and pin-through-hole components were cleaned and intentionally contaminated with solutions containing chloride, sulfate, bromide, and nitrate. Then the parts were assembled on double-sided boards that were also cleaned or intentionally contaminated with three fluxes having different halide contents. The assemblies were subjected to high-temperature/high-humidity testing (85_C/85% RH). Periodic examination found that contamination triggered whisker formation on both exposed tin and solder fillets. Whisker occurrence and parameters depending on the type and level of contamination are discussed. Cross-sections were used to assess the metallurgical aspects of whisker formation and the microstructural changes occurring during corrosion.
