Never heard of flux residues forming a lense. The first thing that comes mind when thinking about your 'fog test' is: Ionic Contamination While this seems pretty far afield from your interest in optical effects, I'll continue briefly. A reverse

In general, it would not be advisable. DI water is used for a couple of reasons. First, the missing ions aid in the cleaning process, as they seek to bond with the material on the board, allowing the water to act like a fairly aggressive solvent.

We've configured SMT and Wave lines such that each line can run either No-Clean and Water soluble process. As we are doing cleanliness study, an observation is there may be cross contamination when we share the Rework benches or PCB trays between No-

Oh. [Howabout if I smack you?] If ahma connectin� wif whut yer sayin�, you: * Don�t like the appearance of the glue slobberin� out from under the component even though there is no apparent glue on solderable surfaces. * Concerned about the hydrosco

Dear JSK, It sounds like the root causes of your problem are two fold. First, excessive heat will polymerize the abietic acid found in rosin forming neo-abietic diamers and polymers which are much less soluble than the parent monomer. There are

| I need an evaluation process to prove to a customer that our no-clean process does not leave excessive residue? Any ideas? Wayne, Find out your customer's concern about the residue. Residue can be a pretty ambiguous term. Is their concern activi

Mario: Your ask a very broad question and give no background information. Generally, the amount and type of residues present on a printed circuit board at the very beginning of a SMT line depends on the exposure of the board up to that point. For

If no-clean flux is reflowed correctly, many of the activators are encapsulated within the resin residue left behind after reflow. An ionic contamination test cannot differentiate between ionic residue that was encapsulated (not harmful) and residues

This is one of the most common questions I get asked. Why clean no-clean flux. It was stated earlier that no-clean residues are benign. This may or may not be accurate. It depends on several factors including the reflow process. In a perfect world, t

Yes, providing your: * Inbound material does not compromise your process. * Soldering processes apply the proper amount of flux and activate it properly * Material handling does not contaminate your boards Recognize that the IPC requirements of less
