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

�What does 5 micrograms of chloride mean to me?� * With SIR testing, you can show no detrimental leakage currents under humid conditions, no corrosion, no metal migration, which are the big factors in figuring out electrochemical reliability. People

I have experience cleaning NC for military boards. The reason for cleaning the NC is due to conformal coating requirements. Zestron Vigon A200 and Atron AC 100, as well as Petroferm Hydrex DX have both been effective at cleaning Alpha UP78 NC paste.

Blow holes/ pin holes in solder joints are the result of multiple root causes. Suggested analysis might look like this; 1) What method of solder preservation is used on the bare board. (hasl,enig, osp, etc.) HASL can leave unwanted flux residues,

Who says the chlorine comes from your tap water? Our PTOW dumps boat loads of chlorine into our water periodically. Sometimes it's so bad you can smell it. We doubt that it is the source of your problem. This chlorine will volitize very quickly,

Both are equally efficient process control tools. Neither is particularly effective in testing ionic contamination. The best way to sell your customer on allowing you to do this is to show them that you understand the WHOLE process and are able

Three popular methods: Resistivity of Solvent Extract (ROSE) Test Method IPC-TM-650 2.3.25: The ROSE test method is used as a process control tool to detect the presence of bulk ionics. The IPC upper limit is set at 10.0 *g/NaCl/in2. This test is p

Dave, Answers to your questions: * From your pictures, the white residue appears to be only on the solder mask. Is that correct? If not, what is the location [eg, solder, nonsolder/nonmask areas] of the residue that doesn't show well in the pictur
