Greetings. My company has a VOC-Free no-clean wave solder flux with 4% solids. I have a number of questions as they relate to our ICT Fixtures. Currently, we're encountering the following issues: 1.) PM on probes....What is the recommended PM p

Do you watch when it is doing the wave height test? Watch it and see if it goes up to the same spot on the test probe each time. If the test probe is dirty sometimes the solder has to go up higher on it before it gets detected. You might actually be

| Hi, | I have a customer who's electronic assemblies produce RF. He is insisting upon aqueuos cleaning. We switched to a no clean solder years ago and no longer have an aqueous system. | Is aqueous cleaning necessary to eliminate 'cross talk' of

| Dear All, | | In order to understand the soldering technologies in SMT, I'd like to understand why some cards are soldered and then cleaned, or only soldered whitout water cleaning nor "ultra sound" wavelength. | | I mean that I wonder why we use

Totally agreed regarding underlying issues if we were continuously on the edge of defects. I think the question for me becomes, when a customer isn't specifying requirements or any particulars: at what point is reworking pointless/waste of time &

we have never had a problem using no-clean flux as far as far as shorts and testing problems, using high pressure test probes helps overcome this. The problem we have had is if a unit comes back down the line a couple of years later we notice that t

Can you post a picture? There are many reasons why they probably don't fill. There needs to be a larger surface area on the ring on top. There could be debris in the via holes from not properly drilled or cleaned before plating process. Your customer

3% NDF. We using 8oz 90 degree blade type razor probes, still same issue. Is there stencil we can use or selective pasting test via so flux will not build in testvia. any help or guidance will be appreciate.

Yes, we have try different Flux, probes. etc... also not to paste vs Paste Via, but still we have ~3% NDF due to contact issue. I am looking for selective pasting with less flux dispenser.Any idea or anyone has used? What about plug via before pas

Well, everyone has provided good advice, but if you are looking for a wave flux that can provide much better dwell times and consistent wetting throughout the hole fill, without making adjustments to your production process, I suggest going with Senj
