From part documentation: CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS A no clean solder system is recommended for IHLP's. If cleaning must be performed, an Isopropyl alcohol is recommended. If de-ionized Water Wash is used insure it is followed by a thorough warm air dry c

We bake all of our boards at 220 degrees F for two hours. This bakes out all the moisture. Blow off the parts prior to placing in the oven.

Hi, I am currently using a peelable mask prior to wave soldering and have started exploring water soluble/washable masks. The mask will be used with water based and alcohol based flux. Are there any compatability issues to concider and how will this

Only use the shop air if it is clean and dry. I know from experience that one can get water and a little oil from the compressor in the air lines. We are in a drier climate with humidity levels in the 25%-35% range on average. All we do is let the

The presence of agitation at an air / solution interface and a foaming agent causes foaming. Most water soluable fluxes contain surficants. Surficants are foaming agents. First, it's likely this foaming is caused by poor control of the temperature o

Thank you for your replies. We use No-Clean Paste and some customers do not want any residue left around solder joint even so, so little. They want the residue washed completely. If we use water-soluble flux, we still need to wash, anyway. Their conc

Good point on the shop air. Shop air can also generate a tremendous amount of ESD. There are special nozzles you can get to minimize it. We use our shop air mostly for blowing out connectors, and larger components that have a history of trapping w
