Hello Dave, I hope that electronic slap didn�t hurt too much. Robf, I am sorry that you did not agree with my initial response, but the answer is very detailed and most of the support material I have is only in paper format so I need to either snai

James, if you want to get a circuit board wet, then any cleaner will do. Tighter componentry and BGAs are different. Even if you submerge a BGA, the surface underneath it will not be effected. Thus you need to force the chemistry mechanically unde

I would question your motive "There's no way that I feel comfortable shipping boards after a selective without cleaning them, the amount of flux on the board is significantly more than from SMT". 1. Who said that residue should be cleaned and why? O

There are chemistries out there that will solublize some post-solder NC flux residues. I have had success with Zestron material Vigon A200 and Petroferm material Hydrex DX. Go to http://www.zestron.com and http://www.petroferm.com These are chemical

UltraSonic cleaners do a good job of cleaning both stencils and misprint PCBs. Make sure the frequency that the machine comes set to is ok to use with both stencils and misprint PCBs. If you are a CM make sure your customers are ok with using the ul

See Daves Answer above and change it to "paste mfgr." Also most all of the cleaning companies have chemistries. Are you cleaning noclean or W.S.? IPA works if you clean them manually, Or the chemicals that the Ultra sonics mfgrs recommend. Search

Hello Mike, We have just sent out the press releases. 440-R SMT Detergent, the only chemistry to complete the EPA's Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program, as part of the Smart Sonic Stencil Cleaning Process, is now available for use i

You should check the archives, there has been much written on this subject in the past. Asking about the correct chemistry is wise. It never ceases to amaze me how many people think ultrasonics will work without the proper chemistry. Without the rig
