Baking boards, especially multi layer, will help with blowholes and delimitation, but not with solder balls. Normally about 120c for 1 hour or so is sufficient. I usually will not go to this trouble unless a board has proven to be a problem or if th

I've been involved with no-clean flux and conformal coat in the past.It has been my experience that the amount of no-clean flux used is proportionate to how well the conformal coat adheres to the boards.No clean paste did not affect adhesion. The co

Some NC fluxes work well with conformal coatings others do not. Your coating materials supplier should be able to help. If they can't you're talking to the incorrect person. Try our friend Graham.Naisbitt@concoat.co.uk www.concoat.co.uk CONCOAT Lt

Greg, If you are having a problem, i would first check board manufacturers process. Also are they shipping boards to you in seal packages (a must if you are in a humid part of the country.) Most of the time with a few simple process controls moistur

We just got a lesson on the effectiveness of heat sealed metalized vapor barrier bags. A customer sent us two bags of 100% saturated PBG components by air freight. This was for a demoisturizing test. When we found the devices 80% dry when they arrive

Hi Cory, As a manufacturer of aqueous cleaning systems, my advise is somewhat biased, however I believe it to be accurate. We have hundreds of customers who have implemented no-clean programs. The programs have been successful when measuring the r

Cory, I've got a lot of experience of testing of this type. The physical (not chemical) nature of the flux residues is the crucial issue in compatibility. If you have a softer residue (either caused by a thick initial solder paste deposit, or a low p

Check also the specs / recommendations of your PCB manufacturer. We bake boards 4h/120°C before reflow and after automated cleaning (it´s not FR4!) and also if we have to rework with the autometd rework- stations (massive IR underheating ,..). Regar
