Just what is delaminationg during testing? Water washing should be sufficient to clean WS609. On the other hand, it's possible you're conveyor speed is too high to do a good job cleaning the high density areas. What kind of testing have you done to

Sorry davef. I was not being clear. PCBAs came out cold soldered after being reflowed the first time with ALPHA WS-820. The flux gel ALPHA WS 609 was supposed to be applied only onto the terminations of caps where ALPHA WS-820 was for a second refl

I am also interested in anyones obervations. I am most interested in anyone changing over from ws-609 to ws-709. I have read the technical information but I am most interested in hearing from a user.... Thanks, Kevin

We too had a problem with the WS609. We have since switched to Alpha's WS619 (same formula with an anti-foaming agent) This really helped but we still monitor flux application and try to minimize wherever possible. Chris

I would have to agree with the to high temp being a real problem. I have seen this with the WS-609 alpha paste. If you run it up to high in temp. The joints appear to be cold but they are really just over fried.....definitely try reducing temperat

Randy's correct. If you were soldering to nickel with WS609, you would be complaining about non-wetting, not lumpy solder flow.

The more we think about this, the more we think you should join the 20th century and upgrade from your good ol' WS609. We know this will be tough. We used the stuff for 10s of years.

We see delamination at Mold compound to substrate interface when tested for MSL3. We haven't tested the substrate for cleanliness. Can you please suggest methods for this? thanks, arun

Bruce: We know Arun is not cleaning the board properly. Arun does not know how to determine if the board is clean. Arun doesn't know how long to clean the board. Apparently, you do. Tell Arun the answers.
