On your question about reliability ... " Is there testing we can do (environmental stress chambers) with which we can see the long-term effects of flux residue on solder joints?" Sure, incompletely activated low residue flux residues are potentially

Hi...i have a question. After you solder a circuit board, what do you wash the flux residue off with? I am hesitant to use water for fear of subsequent corrosion, and have no clue as to what kind of flux is in my solder wire. automated pcb assembly

For low volume hand assembly, deionized water or IPA should work fine.

I can't speak too much as to why your joints are appearing dull, even with the booster. I can recommend a new chemistry that Kyzen has out that I've been running for about a year now. Price is about the same, it can be run at low(er) concentrations

On the flux reside issue that is gumming up your test probe pogos ... Short term, clean what's in process with a aerosol flux cleaner solvent. Ask your flux supplier for recommendations. Longer term, recognizing that there is no fix, your improveme

Hi, I noticed that the solder joints on my BGAs end up with a lot of wrinkles after reflow. See picture at: http://pstr-r02.ygpweb.aol.com/data/pictures/02/01A/17/DD/E3/9E/n8BhepQLFDs6GMSwaRNxPCTWR5NdpUJZ0300.jpg Does anybody have any ideas what cau

the direction in which the solders cool in a BGA are also different than the rest of the boards as the joints " hidden" to ambient. Refer to an analogus phenomenon in the cookson application note. http://www.cooksonsemi.com/pdfs/How%20&%20Why%20Bum
