| | | | | | | | I have always thought it to be a good practice to wash SMA's with water soluble paste (WS609) soon after reflow. Is there a time limit as to how long a board should sit after reflow before washing said board? For instance; processi

I have concern about cleaning solder ball after misprinting paste on PCB, currently use vigon 200 with ultrasonic generate but only 70% solder ball able to remove, Any other method or equipment can help to clean solder ball.

Do not wipe the board at first before putting it in your cleaner. It will leave more paste in your tank, but you won't smear it into every corner of your solder resist. We found that only our stencil cleaner would clean a board properly and leave n

In piggy back on Chunks' comments, what you might wipe it with can be the problem. Alcohol absorbed by the solder paste inhibits the effectiveness of some cleaning chemistries, and driving it into the nooks and crannies exacerbates the problem. If

No need to clean unless the sticky residue is an issue for you. If you are working with RF, it could be an issue. You may have probe contact problems as well with ICT and FT fixtures. We use a low residue flux for our wave solder machines (Kester

First of all, my Customers can be described as a real "Jack-Ass" or at least the SQE does. They don't treat us as their partners OR more like "do what I said...When I started to use solder paste you probably weren't borned yet and/or probably still o

Now that�s a switch. Most are moving or properly have moved in the polar opposite direction. Dano, has someone been drilling your teeth lately? We use water washable flux to: * Remove solder balls. [Or put another way, we don�t have to screw-down

Hi all, We found there were some non-clean residue left on the PCBA,in all likelihood,they were rosin which couldn't be soldered enough,so I wish all of you can give me hints how to clear them out during soldering by correct reflow profile. BEST

Start your recipe development with the recommendations of your paste supplier. The recipe in your new oven should produce identical results to your old oven [assuming you're using the same paste]. Given that your new oven is shorter than your old
