Hi Rob, I must take issue with your statement �By definition, no clean solder can be not-cleaned�. All no-clean fluxes can be cleaned. Whether or not one cleans no-clean depends on a variety of factors. More than eighty percent of all post reflow

Hi Paul M, There are no silly questions but silly answers.. and here is maybe a few if I understand you correctly: If you consider place anything less than a 1.27mm (50mil) pitch component down or a chip less than a 1210, hey it maybe don't even work

I think you're getting steered in the wrong direction, with the exception of DaveF's link. By the way, I'm a PCB fabricator, just to avoid any backlash. IPC 4101 is the IPC guideline for raw materials. It has 6 slash sheets for lead-free capable
