Tim, try and incorporate an inline wash system. We use one with a surfactant and it cleans the "NO CLEAN" fluxes well. If you dont have an inline system, you can manual clean the boards with an surfactant and IPA. You can also do an ionic contamin

The most common method is a R.O.S.E tester. They have been around for 30 years and are an industry standard for ionic contamination (flux and other residues) testing. Manufacturers include: Zero Ion www.aqueoustech.com Omegameter / Ionagraph http:/

HI GUYS: COULD SOMEBODY ELSE SAID ME WHERE TEST THE CONTAMINATION IN BOARDS,NOW I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SOLDER WAVE PROCESS,THERE ISN�T FLOW ON THRU HOLE. AND I THINK MAYBE IS CONTAMINATION IN PCB. THANKS. RAMON I

Are there any established acceptance criteria for contaminants based on Ion Chromatography testing? I've found some references to certain levels for some contaminants but there doesn't seem to be any industry consensus. Any feedback or reference to l

We vote for: IPC-TM-650 2.3.25.1, solvent: 80�C, extract time: 60 minutes, hold time: 30 minutes or until room temperature. Listen, it really doesn't matter which method you decide to use. IPC-TM-650 2.3.25 is a process control method. It's more imp

Your Ionograph and Zero-ion Values are set by you. There is no raw pass of fail criteria only the limits you set up. Ionograph is great for bare board resistivity (salt) test just as a pass fail for incoming inspection but this is all per your facto

Adam, I can't disagree with Pete that an Ionic contamination test may ID the affected boards. However, if you have a large number of boards to test, this may not be the answer. Omegameter testing takes 10-15 minutes per unit if memory serves. On

I�m aware of no such standard. There may be something in Euroland [ie, IEC, etc.] TM-650 �Test Methods Manual� has procedures for measuring various types of contamination, such as: * 2.2.25 �Detection Of Ionizable Surface Contaminants� * 2.2.27 �Cl
