Hi production encountered a problem today. There have been a mix-up of solder paste. We are currently running clean process in one side of board. Unfortunately when PD run the other side process they were able to used a wrong no-clean solder paste.

Yes, if not done correctly, you will have a mess on your hands and probably do more harm than good. It can be done, though and has gotten much more common and easier to do. If you are ordering cleaning chemicals, your supplier can guide you through

Need some input here..... The fear is that the if we use water soluble flux at the repair operation, that the no-clean encapsulation will capture some of the organic material as it cools down and goes to its original state. The organic material wil

You do want to be very careful with potentially entrapped organic materials as they are prone to causing electrical leakage failures particularly around sensitive devices. There is a new clenliness testing tool available that tests a localized area

Now is when you find out if you have a good sales rep for your solder. I've seen solder reps eventually get around to responding. And I've seen some that would be in the plant that day to help you out. I even know a couple who would give advice even

Our facility helps customers clean no-clean soldered boards on a regular basis, and it definitely can be done but is a little more challenging than boards built with water soluble flux - one piece of advice I would give is to use low water pressure (

We design PCBAs. Our CM assembles the boards for us. So far we have used waterwash SMT process to build the boards. Accidentally, due to documentation errors, we suddenly have a huge batch of boards built with No-Clean process. Although the boards pa
