Good point on the shop air. Shop air can also generate a tremendous amount of ESD. There are special nozzles you can get to minimize it. We use our shop air mostly for blowing out connectors, and larger components that have a history of trapping w

What are the possible consequences when there's a flux entrapment (location: vias under components)under components during wave soldering? thanks

Dream, Sound's to me like your PCB supplier has process problems, probably outgassing or such from trapped moisture / contaminant's. I thoink it's time you called in your vendor for a chat. JohnW

List, Is there any special disposal protocol needed when the filters on the PC board washer becomes clogged? How often do these filters become clogged? These filters would trap lead and such so how much does it cost to get rid of the filters? Bria

We've found beading is not neccesarily the amount of paste but where it's applied. Trapping paste under components seems to be the culprit. On components where we couldn't reduce aperature size we simply moved it outward actually overprinting the p

Theory #6 [maybe 3a?]: If you change your paste to a 'non-voiding' paste, your problem will go away. It's the flux in your paste that's killing you. The flux gets trapped in the solder and then releases ejacta that form the volcanic openings in you

I just got a report from MacDermid on Solder Mask Interface Attack Issue (SMIA) with Sterling Silver Process. Corrosive chemicals in the ImAg process get trapped under the soldermask edge and eat at the copper trace. They are experimenting with diffe

Is this a wire dip tinning process? If yes, then your flux is probably trapped under the insulator, causing corrosion. BAD BAD BAD (hopefully you don't make wire harnesses for air planes or passenger trains). More info please.

It does specify when to clean. But when we open it up, there's not much flux in the containment. The containment doesnt seem to trap the flux. infact, we hv more flux in the duct than the containment. anyway, we will talk to MFGR to get their rec

It depends on the water quality of your final rinse too. Too dirty and pools of water will trap residues on your board. If let to evaporate, these residues can stay on your board.
