The answer for us at my previous employer was water soluble flux. Wash the board, no residue. If you're not set up to wash (needing a washer, DI water source, waste treatment, ventilation, etc.) it can be expensive and space consuming. Do some resea

Casimir This is not an easy subject. How did you process the test pieces? Was the flux used correctly at the required and recommended level? Did it see the wave properly? I am not an advocate of no-clean but we do have customers who coat over no-cl

Dave You are so right about that point. I still use some cost models we ran up some 5 years ago. I took one to a customer and showed them that they could make $400K more PROFIT PER YEAR running OA v No-Clean. Their response? Well, we don't believe

Dear Ing, Have you analyzed why some RF device aren't operational after washing? An assumption is that failures are related to the ultrasonic energy applied. Other possibilities are for poor rinsing, poor drying, inadequate washing on those failed

Graham STOP!!! You can not be totally serious. A five year old cost model counts bean, and beans are beans. I have to know more about the calculation. If this bores some of your gear-heads, click on "return." � Help me with the terms: - "Ops cos

I am in trouble with gold finger cleaning and repairing.Can anyone recommend good solutions?Also,can anyone recommend a good flux paste source(s)?Thanks.

Hi, I could like to find out what are the things need to look out if I'm doing a new SMT solder paste ( water soluble & no-clean ) evaluation. And also flux ( spray type ) for wave-solder ( water soluble & no-clean ). Appreciate for all the input..

Casimir: Let me expand on something that I said in my response to your thread on ionic testing. Generally, no-clean people don�t use ROSE testing as part of their process control, because the ROSE test is essentially washing your board in DI/IPA �

We currently use both Humiseal and Conap with OA flux. The flux MUST me cleaned off the assembly before coating. I know that Humiseal has coatings that are compatiable with no cleans as long as your processes are defined properly before your coating

Residues from different no-clean fluxes produce different levels of variation in RF circuits. Some no-clean fluxes work fine. Following this, a no-clean flux can produce different levels of variation in RF circuits depending on the process setup.
