We have a current problem on our packages after we bake it for 24 hrs prior BGA rework. Flux or white residues found on the connector leads and terminals that cause not contact problems during mating. Could you help us how to clean the fluxes properl

thanks for your reply, actually we bake the PCB assembly prior the rework because the package was exposed for quite some time already. The baking time was 24hrs @ 125 deg.C. We notice that there were flux residues on the connectors after the baking.

Hi Bill, You should try pre-baking any such old devices prior to using on SMT Reflow. Refering to MSL-type3 guidelines could help in your case.

We assume from the way you wrote the posting that we're talking about bare boards delivered from your fabricator. If that's the case, the best way to clean these boards is to tell your supplier to clean the boards before sending them to you. You shou

Plasma cleaning is used extensively to clean surfaces prior to wire bonding.

Are we talking: * BGA that you've reballed and want to clean prior to attachment to a circuit board? * BGA that you've attached to a circuit board after correcting something or other? ... and we're talking a water soluble flux or what?

Thanks Phil. However, my objective is to identify stencils that are not 100% clean prior to sending to inventory. I want to catch it before the solder paste has a chance to dry and harden in the apertures. Kerry

While there may not be any specific requirement to cleaning prior to coating, cleaning an assembly prior to coating will only serve to increase the reliability and integrity of the coating. Some residues from low-solids fluxes can interact with conf

We're going to begin conformal coating a few of our assemblies as required by our customer. We're using Kester No clean paste and will use cotton gloves to keep the boards clean while handling. My question is: Do we need to clean the boards prior to
