Hello, I have been tasked with updating our PCB cleaning sytem, of which I know little about, and could really use some advice. We are a small company and we hand solder our electronics to IPC standards. Our electronics are mission critial communic

What are you cutting at incoming? Meat? It doesn't matter that your troop are using ESD mats and wrist straps. Your proposed cutting board is an insulator. It a BIG piece of plastic. So, it will retain a charge. So when you move to adopting ANSI

Hi WRIGHT, When you the standard, I assume you are talking about what kind of set-ups. If so, then RDR is right. Contact a supplier. Most sell the water and also units that can make D.I. water. It depends on your need and size of your cleaner.

There is no standard. Companies select a lower control limit based on the desired cleanliness. Guidelines to consider are: * With fresh resin beds, expect get 17.5 mohm-cm water into the final rinse and then it decreases from there. * Semiconducto

We use an older industrial dish washer to clean our boards, and it works out pretty well. Economical, at least. I'd like to upgrade to an in-line, but it's not in the budget, yet. We've got ours piped with de-ionized water, and a hot water heater

There are different options for de-paneling routers. There are two basic types, in-line and stand-alone. Do you need in-line for high volume? The stand-alone systems have manual insertion trays, one or two trays. Also, after de-paneling or laser ma

There is no standard for deionzed water when used to clean boards. As you state, J-STD-001 defines a cleanliness requirement and a method for determining cleanliness. How you go about meeting that requirement is your decision, as it should be. Fresh

150º de-ionized water, however, if you're doing hobby work at home, regular hot water will be fine. Just be sure to allow the water to dry sufficiently before powering up the board. You can also use IPA or a custom flux cleaning solvent available o

If you have soldered with HASL finish then the worrying chemistry will be more like NON IONIC. They sit there and attract moisture like mad and any chlorides they hold ionize in the moisture attracted and cause electromigration or SIR issues. They ca
