Dear Sean Contrary to believe MOST formulators of No Clean fluxes or No Residue fluxes use organic acides that are in fact weak and benign. IF the residue was left on the board and you had a condensing atmosphere then you may see some issue with fal

Sounds like a rosin flux. Is it sticky as well? Russ

Hi Mike, Greg, Thanks for the inputs...I will put up the photo for more discussion soon. Thanks, Sean

Hi Steve, What type of flux? How do you apply it? What kind of wave? Rite off the cuff, I'd say you're applying too much flux, but without knowing a little more, it's tuff to say. It could even be board related. Hate to see what WML has to say

okay so both the 2005 formulas from interflux are clear alchol based fluxes. Yellow res huh? In looking at the temps here, I would say you might be too hot at both preheat and solder temp. You may be burning flux. How long is dwell time over wave

i am working with the noclean process and getting white residues on the bottomside of the board probably due to the wave soldering flux.i am using a no-clean solder paste and a noclean wave solder flux.The boards passed the accelerated temperature a

We agree with Russ. Your topside should be 100 - 130*C. Your 265*F is at the top of the range. Look here: http://www.interflux-electronics.com/Products/Fluxes/IF%202005M/TD%20IF%202005M.pdf#search=%22Interflux%20IF%202005%22

On your question about reliability ... " Is there testing we can do (environmental stress chambers) with which we can see the long-term effects of flux residue on solder joints?" Sure, incompletely activated low residue flux residues are potentially

We're currently using no-clean flux (SR-12) in a no-clean manual soldering process. The brownish flux residue impedes direct visual inspection of the solder joints. Therefore, we're forced to clean the residue off. (1) Is there testing we can do

GJ: If your supplier uses a conformal coating that "must be applied to a clean surface," then you are using the wrong supplier and no amount of twiddling with your N2 levels will change this. NC fluxes are inherently "dirty" and nothing aside of cle
