If your pots are open you then just need to dry them. Don't hide them. Are they rated for water clean? If not hand solder after cleaning with no-clean wire. Hand cleaning with IPA is dangerous - you really just push the flux around and don't was

We implemented an inexpensive home dishwasher solution last year for cleaning assemblies. It works very well for both lead free and tin/lead cleaning. DI water at room temp is all we do and the boards come out squeaky clean. We had to use the least

Hello, We've just started using VIGON A200 in our Aqueous Trident XLD system and observed that aluminium electrolytic capacitors get corroded. Concentration was set at 20% and washing is done by spray at 150F for 6 to 8 minutes. Then is rinsed seve

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

It realy depends on what no-clean you use, I had on that would get under IC's and not get fully activated it was fine here in the states but when it was shipped over seas the salt air and humidity gave us fits, another we used didnt have that problem

| All Y'll | | How do you clean components that must be added to an assembled board after water wash? | | BACKGROUND | | Our basic process goes like this: | | 1 Print paste with OA flux, place, reflow, wash | 2 Repeat 1 | 3 Insert PTH, OA flux

Dreamy, Adding chemistry to the wash section in a cleaner does have its advantages. It reduces the surface tension of the liquid and will remove contaminates such as fingerprints. It does however complicate the process in respect to water treatment

| I'm running memory module product- SMT double reflow ( 12 modules per panel). I'm using the epoxy base solder paste in order to reduce the flux spattering problem onto the gold finger which could lead to the intermittent contact problem. | | I do

| We had some failures on an IC package that the manufacturer has put down to moisture inside the package, leading to popcorning. | This seems a bit odd, the package is a PLCC 84 which is quite thick. I have only seen this problem on thin packages. |

| We notice that DI water seems to tarnish or discolor the metal packaging on crystals and DIN connectors. Our marketing types like the shiney metal surfaces. We don't want to hand solder these parts after washing. | Any suggestions? | Dave F Dave,
