The Omegameter (or Ionograph) detect contamination by measuring the conductivity of the solution used to extract the board. This conductivity number reflects the sum of all of the ionics in the extraction solution. Unfortunately, we can't sort out th

We agree. It sounds like your tester is possessed. If it starts vomiting pea soup, throw it away. Otherwise: * Follow Pete's suggestion by calling Alphametals [or whatever they call themselves nowadays] * Contact analytical laboratories and ask th

Hi GS, Just a clarification� No-clean does NOT equal no ions. It equals less ions (at best). Automatic R.O.S.E (Resistivity Of Solvent Extract) testers are commonly used to detect ionic contamination from no-clean applications. Your comment rega

We have an Ionic Contamination Testing system but short of having a monitoring record for the chemical concentration. What we have is a monthly maintenance check of the concentration and annual check and calibration of the chemicals. We seldom use th

Hello. We are building a CCA which has a silicone-based adhesive whose purpose is to bond the bottoms of multiple LED displays to heat sinks. Our customer wants the CCA to be tested for ionic residues per J-STD-001, but we are hesitant to test the

| I have a problem! The solder on my pc boards look great comeing out | of my reflow oven. They go thrue the rest of the prossese | and at the end at the qc station it's cold or whitish or gray not shiny. | does any one have a idea on how to correct

Q1: Will the ion chromatography be able to identify and quantify the contaminant? A1: Yes, it will identify and quantify the amount of contaminant. Obviously this is very useful in troubleshooting the source of the contaminant. [The only problem fo

Assemblers often assume that the board and component suppliers provide them with clean product. This was not a problem when everyone used water washable fluxes, because the water washing used to clean the flux residues also cleaned the board and com

Three popular methods: Resistivity of Solvent Extract (ROSE) Test Method IPC-TM-650 2.3.25: The ROSE test method is used as a process control tool to detect the presence of bulk ionics. The IPC upper limit is set at 10.0 *g/NaCl/in2. This test is p
