We have a name brand aqueous batch cleaner that uses a chemical and DI water to clean ROL0 flux from our PCBs. It does ok most of the time for SMT boards and we want to include through hole assemblies as well which should be a better cleaning process

Here are some answers to my questions after a good research. I also added more definitions that could help understand this esoteric language used in assembly, specially surrounding fluxes and their use. In blue italics are comments and extracts from

Thanks folks. The current vendor is doing an alcohol wash, top and bottom, then performing an ionic test on 100 boards. I'm not to confident in the testing because the readings for a "clean" board are 25 ugm/sq in and a "dirty" board are 40 ugm/sq in

J Rose at EMPF says: The introduction of no-clean solder fluxes in electronics manufacturing has given rise to greater levels of solder balling simply because the opportunity to remove them in the wash process does not exist. They are typically cause

Coilcraft has posted the following and I am wondering how you folks are handling the use of coils in a Water Soluble world. PCB Washing and Coilcraft Parts Coilcraft tests for resistance to solvents per the following specification: Resistance to s

Earl, et al, Boy things get old and cold around here fast. I promised more detail on my capactior problem and I thought I could drop something completely different in the same message and tell a tale of solder balls. First the caps. We still have

Flux is not classified as lead or lead free. You are cleaning flux not removing solder.

There should be no problem. Recognize that the residue of some low residue fluxes turn a milky-white color when you wash them. This could freak your quality people.

We will be hand soldering a small number of PCBs per week (both through hole and SMT) using a water soluble flux. We will be using both standard leaded and lead free solder. The completed assemblies be hand washed in a sink using hot water. Do we
