Hi Bill You said, "silicon". We assume by your discussion that you ment to say, "silicone". For background on silicone and soldering, check with Dow Corning [517-496-6000]. They make a OS2 [VOC-free] silicone stripper and should be able to give y

Probably need more info on the PCB and why baking before reflow processing is part of your process, but if you're baking before reflow it makes sense you'd bake before rework. Is there a reason you don't AOI before wash?

This is recommended by our EMS to make sure flux is not cheating AOI.

I am currently working on a manufacturing flow where some PCBA are processed with reflow oven (after being baked before processing), then cleaned with bath, then passed into contaminometer, passed into AOI. The point is after all of this, if AOI dete

Hello Baking before solder pasting and reflow actually due to poential moisture development. This is JDEC requirement I believe to do so. We AOI after cleaning so we AOI a clean PCBA

Is there a reason the PCBA needs to be cleaned to inspect through AOI? I AOI thousands of "dirty" boards a day without an issue.

We had encountered similar problem before. But the cause was found out to be the poor good plating, instead of contamination. The way we dealt with that was sending them to the supplier for rework. It may be the fastest and most relaibility way. Goo

That is exactly the type of problem we are having. Some work, some dont. We feel these parts are not counterfeit so to speak but reworked, removed from other boards, cleaned up to some degree - hence the flux residue, black contamination, scrapes, wr

the board in question is from Foba Laser Engraver, it's a surface contamination coming from.. everywhere, a lot of moving parts that are lubricated. I'm now studding chemicals that we may use for our kind of rework & cleaning. We may think of modifyi

We've configured SMT and Wave lines such that each line can run either No-Clean and Water soluble process. As we are doing cleanliness study, an observation is there may be cross contamination when we share the Rework benches or PCB trays between No-
