Is there any harm in washing SMT soldered with NoClean paste? The PCA has some large thru-hole connectors that we would prefer to do as water soluble on out selective solder but the SMT consists of LGA's and other low parts that we would not be able

I would not use the product. Solder balls on a massive scale would be one issue due to all the exposed copper. Throw them out, it will be cheaper and less of a headache. I would also question your board shops quality control or lack of for letting

We seemed to have a serious gap of information in this area. The technician found out about this MM, MN, SM stuff and we're reading and learning about them. We didn't use MM or SM for anything. I guess there is a price to pay for not having the prope

Hi Deni, X-ray will not be able to see through Power and Grn planes. Your only way to find out is: 1) ask your board supplier to supply stack up used. 2) surface grind layer by layer to validate if it is correct stack up. What is making you think

Hi, Looking for views and some opinions on the best systems to use to clean pads (particularly BGA) prior to carrying out replacement of parts. I'm thinking of vacuum type desoldering systems. Obviously braid is an option which we currently use, but
