no-clean processes - are gloves necessary?

Electronics Forum | Thu Oct 21 09:09:07 EDT 1999 | Rich Scheleski

Does anyone have any info in regards to wearing gloves, finger cots in a no-clean process? Are there ionic contamination levels that validate the costs involved in setting up a system? Appreciate any feedback -Rich

Aye aye aye.

You may also want to investigate an Ionic contamination tester. You can check with Alpha, Westek or an equipment broker to find a used tester. If you switch to OA fluxes this will be an important test to perform on a regular basis.

Hi, What's the acceptable criteria for Ion Chromatography Testing? I found a test lab but they said we have to define what is pass or failed. Can anyone guide me to the right document either IPC or MIL Std? thanks,

boards greater than this spec. can cause latent failure, Do not confuse no-clean assembly materials (nocleaning required) vs. clean chemistries that must be cleaned. You do not want ionic contaminants on your products.

One step is to examine the cleanliness on and around the failing component. There could be an ionic contaminant causing the shorts. Regards, Sara Gorcos www.residues.com

thanks a lot sir davef. which is better between the two, static or dynamic? localized testing (C3) or bulk testing (Omegameter/Zero Ion)? do I really have to purchase this unit despite having an aqueous cleaner? thanks again...

We don't know what your customer expects. If you do a nice chart of your third-party results that show a stable and in-control process, we'd guess your customer would let you slide without buying a BIG dust collector.
