Most often, dull solder joints (post cleaning) is a result of the cleaning chemical. Most (not all) modern cleaning chemicals are equipped with corrosion inhibition agents which prevent dulling. Check with your chemical supplier to see if your specif

My company is just getting into the flip chip packaging arena. We are putting in a prototype/small volume wire bond PBGA line. We have some questions with regard to choosing solder balls and cleaning of flux. 1) Is there a formula for the shrink

CAL, Thanks for the input. When I said chemistry I was refering to soldering chemistry and not cleaning. I believe this machine has the capability to incorporate a saponifier but would prefer not to run in this manner. Running a closed loop DI re

I'm trying to find a solution that will clean our PCBAs that will meet the following criteria: 1. Low cost 2. Enable us to clean 25 - 100 PCBAs per day 3. Leave boards clean, including residue removal 4. Preferably environmental friendly 5. should b

Very good questions Bob� Given the fact that my company is a manufacturer of batch cleaning equipment, I will speak more in general terms rather than in specific terms. There are several criteria used in the evaluation of batch aqueous cleaning sys

It is true that the use of saponifiers (and other water soluble additives) will lower the surface tension and aid in under component penetration. It is also true, however, that other specific design features within a batch machine can also aid in un

Greetings All, Anybody out there experiencing white residues after cleaning? We currently use a batch cleaner to clean water soluble fluxes. this cleaner makes its own DI water by means of carbon and resin tanks. After cleaning there are residues

We are purchasing an ultrasonic cleaner to clean pcb asseblies that have been produced with water soluble flux based solder. After cleaning a batch of assemblies, the water in the cleaner will need to be disposed of. My question is: Do we need to

Very shortly I will be evaluating OA flux and aqueous cleaning to replace our RMA and solvent cleaning process. I am primarily interested in batch aqueous cleaners for reasons of budget, floor space, etc. I am concerned about the ability of H2O to
