We have passed testing using this process, I would consider it on a case by case basis however. We are very careful about the quantity of the O.A. that we use. The water soluble flux is gone after cleaning unless it was/could be encapsulated or tra

Need some input here..... The fear is that the if we use water soluble flux at the repair operation, that the no-clean encapsulation will capture some of the organic material as it cools down and goes to its original state. The organic material wil

You do want to be very careful with potentially entrapped organic materials as they are prone to causing electrical leakage failures particularly around sensitive devices. There is a new clenliness testing tool available that tests a localized area

Se�or Tech Put a penny in your water wash tank that uses DI water. It will disappear in a couple of weeks.

Water is known as the universal solvent for a reason. Not because it's a powerfull solvent but because it has hydrogen bonding and is bi-polar. I think it's the polar nature of H20 that makes it disolve ions. D.I. water will pick up ions where it c

Se�or Tech If you want clean board using a dish waher, you must run deionized water. If you run DI water through a dishwasher, it will cut through those flimsy pipes like fire driven by Sana Anna Winds through dry brush.

Dave, Are you talking about electrolysis ? I thought D.I. water prevented this reaction ?

Not to be funny, but can't you use a dishwasher ? They are cheap. The only worry there may be water spots, but if you blow your boards dry with an air hose I think they will be OK.

Look for the following machines: Aqueous Technologies ECD EMC Austin American The above mfrs. make "industrial" grade dishwashers for assembled PCB de-fluxing. Search any of those names followed by "..... batch cleaner", and your search engine will

I worked at one place where they had a dishwasher. They had stopped using it by the time I got there. But if they had kept using it I would have gotten a clean glass and put it in to see how clean it came out. I think after a while with only one tan
