I still find it weird when people clean "NO clean" - it defeats the purpose.

Sorry to disappoint. No-Clean fluxes are resin-based. They are not soluble in water. Water soluble fluxes are by nature Organic Acid and are soluble in water AND must be cleaned within a short period after reflow as they remain conductive and corrosi

Thanks for the kind words Dave. At no point in my reply was I trying to sell anything. I apologize to anyone who believes otherwise. I agree with the poster, if assemblies are going to be cleaned, consider a flux designed to be cleaned. While this is

This is one of the most common questions I get asked. Why clean no-clean flux. It was stated earlier that no-clean residues are benign. This may or may not be accurate. It depends on several factors including the reflow process. In a perfect world, t

Hi Jacob, NC vs WS, what a story! No-clean paste means no-clean for your products but what a mess it makes in your reflow systems. If you are a contract maunufacturer of high volume production, then No-Clean is they way to go. This helps keep your co

Anyone using a No-clean solder paste on a pcb with a 100 Mbps Ethernet chip? Will the residue cause any signal degradation? Any issues with a no-clean solder paste and 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet? Device: National Semiconductor DP83848 10/100 Mb

Has anyone found a way to control viscosity of no-clean paste?

Hi Dave, No-clean paste is more difficult to remove in post-reflow cleaning applications. In stencil, misprint and tool cleaning applications however, no-clean paste poses no extra degree of cleaning difficulty. There are few special requirement

We use no-clean sac305 pastes that are not water soluble. Will a DI water based washer work for cleaning these stencils or is alcohol required?

Do you really want to try and wash a "no-clean" paste?
