Bruce Barton: We're not intending to suggest that anyone is purposely leaving WS flux residue on the board after cleaning. Fact is, Arun isn't sure if the boards are completely clean. Arun said, "We haven't tested the substrate for cleanliness." Gi

Hi everyone..i am new here. I am hardware design engineer and as per my experience PCBAs came out cold soldered after being reflowed the first time with ALPHA WS-820. The flux gel ALPHA WS 609 was supposed to be applied only onto the terminations of

I had problems with white residues on both WS609 and WS 3060.The WS 3060 turned out to be a carbonized material.The composition after analysis (Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrum) turned out to be tin,tin,phosphore and cloline and tin. Alpha also have

I have just started an assembly which uses a 16 mil pitch QFP. We ran on Saturday, using a type 3 solder paste. (working Sat's really sucks) We really struggled with paste release after the stencil sat for 15 minutes without printing. Apertures clog

We have evaluated using WS-629 and our feelings are that the formula is not very stable. One evaluation showed great results; superior solder joint appearance and good printability. The paste would not roll on another evaluation nor would it release

Hi All: Can you tell me specifically if you converted an exiting product made with Clean process using WS609 or compatible to 'No-Clean' process. We have to convert assemblies from current clean process at a CEM to No-Clean process in our own factor

We are having some difficulty soldering a 240 pin Altera device. We use Alpha WS-609, a very generic profile for that solder paste, and a 6 mil stencil with laser cut apertures (1:1 ratio). This is a 20 mil pitch device (aperture size is 10 mils X 75
