Has anyone heard of a no clean paste that can be cleaned in straight DI water ?

I believe the correct statement (I've been told) is "the process is no clean". The solder paste is "low residue". As a CM, in the past we had customers that insisted on a wash after soldering. We used DI water with a saponifier which had mixed result

Thanks for the kind words Dave. At no point in my reply was I trying to sell anything. I apologize to anyone who believes otherwise. I agree with the poster, if assemblies are going to be cleaned, consider a flux designed to be cleaned. While this is

Solder paste for RF boards

Problems using NC in RF circuits are peculiar. Depending on the situation [ie, circuit layout, frequency of use, processes used, materials, and what not], a particular NC flux may not work with a RF circuit. Various NC fluxes leave different levels

No-clean in RF assemblies

The main criteria is at what frequency is the RF operating? If it's in the microwave region, forget no-clean. Low frequencies - 0 to 100 MHz, probably ok. Beyond that, it's application specific. Depends on components used and circuit design. The p

Hi, I need the RF 800 Flux Acid titration procedure and also require EPT of the same to add thinner ( RF 800 additive), i.e we are using the flux rf 800 for our wave soldering process having foam fluxer , after 2 hours we are taking sample from the

Residues from different no-clean fluxes produce different levels of variation in RF circuits. Some no-clean fluxes work fine. Following this, a no-clean flux can produce different levels of variation in RF circuits depending on the process setup.

| Does anybody out there have any special insights into utilizing no clean paste in high frequency RF applications? I would imagine there may be some issues with solder balls that would affect functional test (Earl, do you have something for me here?

Hi Jeff Actually it's not necessarily Signal to Noise Ratio or even RF circuitry. All no cleans leave behind residue by description. This residue can affect RF or other high frequency circuits in a number of different ways including SNR. Very high
