0603's and 0402's are being damaged by the water wash post reflow. PCA's are 1" X 4" and 2" X 2" approximately. We've adjusted water pressure so that the top-down is higher than the bottom up. The baskets have a .5" mesh spacing. Some baskets h

You have a lot to think about! What does the flux manufacturer recommend as far as specifics like water temp or pressure? Do they recommend high temp di-water a detergent or saponifier? Do you currently have a cleaning machine, batch cleaner or inl

Shanelo Technologies Given that isopropyl alcohol [IPA] is produced by combining water and propene. How does soaking a board in water and a flammable liquid drive off water?

NASA recommends baking a PCB for a minimum of 4 hours at 93+/- 5.5�C before conformally coating. [NASA-STD-8739.1, �Workmanship Standard for Staking and Conformal Coating of Printed Wiring Boards and Electronic Assemblies,� August 6, 1999]

But the boards and parts on the boards are also hygroscopic(no not a typo I did a search on hydroscopic and it is not a word the actual word is hygroscopic look it up if you don't believe me) so if you have two hygroscopic materials which one wins?
