Peterson: Ionic flux residues when combined with moisture and a voltage differential can plate conductive �fingers� on the surface of a PCB, but that doesn�t sound like what�s going on here. Your NC flux should not be particularly conductive. For

note: retyped due to some earlier technical fault. does anyone know what environment factors(specifications?) and process control parameters(printer & reflow?) are optimal for running SMT using type 4 and type 5 solder paste respectively? Any pitfal

Hi Randy, No-clean flux needs to be activated in order to burn off the volatiles in the flux. This normally occurs partly during preheat and certainly during the reflow or soldering process. In most hand soldering applications, an operator applies

Josh: Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) is Dow Corning's trade name for it's family of silicone cure sealants. RTV is about the worst kind of coating there is. Its chemistry is highly ionic and it requires atmospheric humidity absorbed to "complete

We manufacture similar equipment. I would recommend that most of the testing be performed in an automatic shut-off mode. There are potential issues with both methods, automatic shut-off and fixed time tests. In an automatic shut-off mode, the cl

your comments will be appreciated, please; IC tests have been performed on two kind of Raw PCBs (HASL) samples by adopting three different methods : First Sample (supllier A) - Omegameter 600 SMT, solvent=40�C: extratcing time 10 min result = 0.2

This is one of the most common questions I get asked. Why clean no-clean flux. It was stated earlier that no-clean residues are benign. This may or may not be accurate. It depends on several factors including the reflow process. In a perfect world, t

Scott, I am not really in a position to answer this as fully as I would like because most military work with which I am familiar is subject to some degree of secrecy most especially on the internet. At least we have signed up to such restrictions. Ho

John: I�m here. On "what do ya think about that one!..."??? Mutha, that sounds rat�s rump [as Dennis Miller says] ugly. On some boards, we paste a cuppla chips on the break-away panels and then torque the chips from the board after cure. We use the

The issue is not the cleanliness of your in-bound water. The issue is the cleanliness of the board your customer receives. Look at J-STD-001C, Para 8, "Cleanliness Requirements". The end product cleanliness is the end result of your: * In-bound
