As an addendum to Daves posting, please consider that: There is no such thing as no residue fluxing. A no-clean must herefore, have benign residues - in other words, they are not as efficient at removing surface oxides to enable good solder joints. S

| I need an evaluation process to prove to a customer that our no-clean process does not leave excessive residue? Any ideas? Justin's right - you need to find out why there is hesitation about residue. Right now I make a board that has contacts for

| 5 micrograms per sq. cm. is actually not too clean. The maximum military allowed post-clean, on-board contamination is 5.7 micrograms of NaCl /cm squared (when using the Zero-Ion brand ionic contamination tester). | We are use to seeing cleanlines

Sylvia, I believe you will find that contrary to Scott Cooks submission, that the work carried out by Robert Clark of Hughes Missile Systems at (then) Tuscon Arizona formed the basis of the MIL-F-14256 spec which "Qualified?" or at least "Approved" O

Hi. Does anyone out there know of a way to calculate the surface area of populated PCB's? We build many different types, and until now have been using a water displacement method, which I believe to be fundamentally flawed. Our technique is to drop a

MK, In most cases, if the machine is completely closed-looped (prewash, wash, prerinse, rinse, final rinse etc), then the water should not require changing. As with most inline cleaners, there should be a considerable amount of water loss in the cl

My customer is finding a blue haze on some SMT pads after processing, kind of looks like a water spot on the surface of solder joints. It requires 20x mag and very good lighting to see. We have done 2 different ionic tests and the boards pass to clas

Thank you ur reply Dave. Let me explain our COB workflow: 1. unpack PCB (FR4,LPI,HASL)(the thickness of gold and nickel we can't be find)(No SMT before) 2. clean the pcb by rubber 3. blow the pcb by di-ionic gun 4. attach die by adhesive gel 5. cure
