On cleaning under low standoff components: How about reading the papers that Mike kindly posted for you above? It's intended to answer questions about cleaning under low standoff components. On conferences, exhibitions, and shows: The BIGGEST show o

We use hot air leveling (HAL) process in pcb production. HAL process is 3 steps. �n 1. step flux. 2. step is HAL. And 3. step is rinsing. As you know there is mustn't any flux after rinsing operation. Our flux chemical is water soluable. But there ar

On a more layman's terms (am not a expert), here goes : 1) resistivity of DI rinse must be greater than 10M-ohms (some say greater than 16M-ohm?), dunno what is the FIX industrial standard? 2) DI water rinse usually is the end zone rinse, before th

water alone especially cold is not good enough, how do you check for hasl fluids when most residues left behind after improper cleaning are non ionic. Use 40C saponifier followed by heated rinse then cold rinse then DI rinse followed by dry.Nylon bru

Ryan, Another option to look at would be ultrasonic cleaning if your boards/process would allow it. Automated multi-tank models with wash, rinse and dry capability are available for larger throughput. Typically both wash and rinse tanks have ultra

I agree with all of the previous comments. 1) Here are a few things to keep in mind when cleaning with water. To effectively clean, any liquid must wet the surface. By itself, water has a surface tension of 70 dynes/square cm. This is relaively hig

Hello Frank, Just a quick note regarding the use of your Smart Sonic Stencil Cleaning process for cleaning PCBs; if the boards are populated, some components my require an ultrasonic rinse with DI water as ultrasonics will deliver the wash solution

"The fluid sometimes heats up to 105 deg F." Not sure what you mean here...is it set at 105 but rarely gets there, or is your temperature dependant upon another process to heat it up? Also, what temp is your rinse water? We used to use a U/S clean

We seem to have an overwhelming amount of foam produced in the initial rinse portion of our wash (enough to cause it to overflow). We are using an Austin American Hydrojet Mach III Inline Cleaner. To my understanding the first rinse of the boards is
