Actually, the white res were caused by the water carrier in your Lonco 23F reacting with the res from the nc flux used to solder the component in place. Comments are: * Some nc flux res are cleanable, some are not. Your supplier [Alpha?] can probab

Hi all How can I clean the white residue between QFP 0.5 mil Pitch? The white residue was created from mistake adding liquild No-clean flux Lonco 23F for reworking clean board. I can clean almost of it by using EC7M cleaning solvent except between

I have used a heat gun and found it effective at burning off these residues. Also, check the fine SMTnet archives.

Thanks for your advise Normally, We do not add any liquid flux (clean or No-clean) during touch up process but this case is an error. Lonco 23F is Nc flux. but our board is clean. However, there are 6 boards that found the white residue and our

We have had success removing white residue. A change of chemical (PCB-Wash or Vigon A200) have a good track record in removing white residue. As Dave stated, we (and others) operate a contract cleaning service. Contact me offline and I�ll provide

Your supplier�s approach to managing process change is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!! Now, let me get the froth back in my mouth. How in the world do we know if the residues on these "no-clean" boards are compatible with your product? J-STD-001C, para 4

Tough to say, but ... Chlorine: Many fluxes contain chlorine. Sulphur: Many solders and paper packing materials contain sulphur. Sodium: No idea. IPC-J-001 talks to board cleanliness and specifies criteria according to the cleanliness test met

Larry, Yes, no matter how much you�d like to avoid using NC, you probably will have to start using the stuff, if the design [sales, in your case] types have their way. We can clean WS under 1mm and 1.25mm pitch BGA. For 0.8mm pitch BGA, we use NC.
