Hi guys, I really am at a loss to understand this one. It would appear that there may be some reaction between the flux and the resist? Or maybe you have an OSP on the board that is reacting during soldering? As a fast fix, maybe you should try a

|I'm getting in a little late on this but my 2 cents is: We have been using no-clean flux for a few years now but up till last month were still cleaning (the white residue) our boards (all thru hole). Finally did some investigation and found the flux

| I have a problem! The solder on my pc boards look great comeing out | of my reflow oven. They go thrue the rest of the prossese | and at the end at the qc station it's cold or whitish or gray not shiny. | does any one have a idea on how to correct

Jerry This is the classic "White powder phenomenon" a little like the X files - loads of information but who do you trust? I know that GEC Hirst Research in the UK, identified over 16 different white powder residues so it is not an easy subject. Plea

Hi all How can I clean the white residue between QFP 0.5 mil Pitch? The white residue was created from mistake adding liquild No-clean flux Lonco 23F for reworking clean board. I can clean almost of it by using EC7M cleaning solvent except between

We have had success removing white residue. A change of chemical (PCB-Wash or Vigon A200) have a good track record in removing white residue. As Dave stated, we (and others) operate a contract cleaning service. Contact me offline and I�ll provide

Thanks for your advise Normally, We do not add any liquid flux (clean or No-clean) during touch up process but this case is an error. Lonco 23F is Nc flux. but our board is clean. However, there are 6 boards that found the white residue and our

I have used a heat gun and found it effective at burning off these residues. Also, check the fine SMTnet archives.

Jaqueline There are so many variables in the electronic assembly manufacturing process involving more than 12 different chemistries, that it is impossible to easily identify and determine the nature and reason of such residues. GEC Hirst Research in
