We use the OM-5100 and wash it with relatively good results. Just dont let it sit longer than a few days before wash. We've used Zestron AC200 and A-250 in a batch cleaner set to 140 wash temp for 8-10 min @ the recommended concentrations. We have h

Do you bond with Al or gold wire? What happens if the Ni is over 150 microinches? Thickness of nickel is one those things that we have not been consistent with. The industry seems to pretty much universally call for 100-200 microinches. Our old board

I don't have a plasma cleaner either. It will help a lot. Actually I don't clean at all. Our wirebond pads are far enough away so the flux residue does not get on the wirebond pads. That's what we think anyway. I am sure we have some degree of c

Hi, I curently have an interesting challenge. But I don't have all the knowledge to solve it. One of our boards is used in RF applications. We noticed that the No-Clean flux residue makes interferences in the RF signal. Removing the flux residue so

Canyou see this contamination? Is it solder beads, flux or something else? If flux, then more cleaning should help, either more time, more cycles through the cleaner, etc. If it is solder beads that are not melted to the rest of the solder, then s

First, we agree with Loco that your QFP is nonwetting, rather than dewetting. Your sceen-shots look like ol' timey SnPb paste recipes. Turn-up the heaterometer dial. Second, on nitrogen: * We kinda think your O2 needs to be around 100ppm with 99.99%

If that's the case, let your customer go. I have run into this situation recently. Q. Why do you not run a dedicated line for lead free? A. You (the customer) give less than 12 weeks forcast and expect us to have a dedicated line for your product?

Hi there Gary, Your solder ball problem is very similar the problem I experienced, but I was using a water soluble paste at the time. It started by inspectors telling me that they were seeing cold solder on some SIMM's that we had built regularly. W

Thinner: Flux thinner, NOT paint thinner We kept a spare stone in thinner in inventory. We cut PVC pipe to size, cap in one end, screw thread on the other, stone inside, filled with flux thinner and covered with a screw cap. I don't remember who we
