I�m aware of no such standard. There may be something in Euroland [ie, IEC, etc.] TM-650 �Test Methods Manual� has procedures for measuring various types of contamination, such as: * 2.2.25 �Detection Of Ionizable Surface Contaminants� * 2.2.27 �Cl

Peterson: Ionic flux residues when combined with moisture and a voltage differential can plate conductive �fingers� on the surface of a PCB, but that doesn�t sound like what�s going on here. Your NC flux should not be particularly conductive. For

Assemblers often assume that the board and component suppliers provide them with clean product. This was not a problem when everyone used water washable fluxes, because the water washing used to clean the flux residues also cleaned the board and com

JD: It's important to note that FR-4 does not contain PBB or PBDE. The bromine in FR-4 epoxy comes in the form of tetra-bromo-bisphenol A [TBBA], which polymerizes and become part of the cross-linked epoxy. Bromine, in the form of hydrogen bromide, i

I do not mean big, heavy transformers but rather small ferrite core transformers, with ferrites in the range of EF16 .. EF40. The weight of the lead and its percentage of the total weight is not the issue here. We simply do not want lead-containing t

In your situation, the issue is the compatibility of your flux residues and the encapsulant that you choose. First, contact your encapsulant supplier for advice. They've likely been down this road with other customers and may be able so save you som

Hello, I have searched endlessly to get a good description of how these are manufactured and exactly how they are supposed to work. I have yet to find anything comprehensive. Our CEM ships our PCBs to us in plain cardboard boxes with Conductive Corr

Hello, This is interesting topic that I would like to share and discuss with you.. I came across few projects from various SMT factories where its product(Computer) reach field, experience No Post/boot defect. This problem become very obvious when

Thermal profiling typically requires a profiling kit, this will include a thermally insulated datalogger that follows your PCB through the oven connected to a number of thermocouples which you might affix to your PCB using heat resistant tape or usin
