Danger Will Robinson� Danger! Never mix a post-reflow cleaning system with a raw paste removal application (particularly on an inline cleaning system)!. The paste that comes off a screen contains solder balls that are so small, they will eventuall

Excess low residue flux is very dangerous to leave on your finished assembly, because it can: * Be corrosive to your solder connections * Promote dendrite growth. To prevent this, follow your supplier's recommendations on: * Applying the proper amou

Flux is used with both lead and lead free. Lead free usually or always uses a no-clean chemistry while lead uses both no-clean and water soluble dependent upon the application. As far as temp profiling a standard way to go is melting point + 30 C. f

as george says move beam back towards the centre of the machine make sure it is square although not neccesarily on the alignment arrows. make sure alignment laser is clean along with the recieving mirror on the head.also make sure the driver filters

We see spattered(spitting of flux or solder to nearby area) solder/flux on gold fingers.We view the gold fingers area under 30x before reflow and it is cleaned but after reflow we see flux droplets or solder on gold fingers. We tried to changed a new

There is the IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 that addresses moisture sensitive components. Go to http://www.ipc.org for the standard. Your factory/storage area environment will dictate exposure times allowable. Be mindful of temperature and humidity changes- lik

OK� Nap time�s over! Technically speaking, water soluble flux is just that, soluble in water. Technically speaking, one does not need a saponifier or any other chemical agent to remove water soluble (OA) flux residues. However, one must conside

Q1: Can anyone explain to me about the effect of their mixture. A1: What is their �mixture�? Q2: What enhancement does my BGA will have when using a WS paste flux with regards to corrosion, 25 years life cycle of the solder joint. A2: Tough to say

Now the ball starts rolling. I'm lookin' for a new aqeous cleaner. Do I really need chemical cleaners or saponifiers, surfactant etc. for an Aqeous Cleaning Machine in removing OA or Water Soluble flux from under my 1.27mm Pitch BGA down to 1mm Pitch

Where to find detailed information on fluxes? No one seems to know the real difference between Rosin fluxes with colophan, Resin fluxes or synthetic Resin fluxes, No Clean, Low Residues, VOC-Free, Halide-Free, Water Washable with alcohol base, Resin-
