Well first off I wouldn't evaluate paste for a wave process. I would use solder bar instead. Flux - top side fillets and no shorting on the solder side, does it clean well after processing if using water soluble flux. How wide is the process win

Brian: SMTnet has a "Terms & Definitions" section in the "Library." OA Flux. Flux, Organic Acid. A water soluble flux. Good luck Dave F

Thank you caurbach. I'm actually not sure if they are cleaners specifically for test sockets or they are just generic PCB cleaners.

Dear Ing, Have you analyzed why some RF device aren't operational after washing? An assumption is that failures are related to the ultrasonic energy applied. Other possibilities are for poor rinsing, poor drying, inadequate washing on those failed

I would recommend some sort of saponifier that has been tested and is known to remove the no clean flux residues that you're trying to remove.

The answer for us at my previous employer was water soluble flux. Wash the board, no residue. If you're not set up to wash (needing a washer, DI water source, waste treatment, ventilation, etc.) it can be expensive and space consuming. Do some resea

Have you tried an ultrasonic water cleaning process? We use an ultrasonic cleaner with tap water and Omega Aqua Clean LPH cleaner (omegasonics.com) then rinse with DI water. However, our cleaning requirements are not as strict as yours are from the

We have passed testing using this process, I would consider it on a case by case basis however. We are very careful about the quantity of the O.A. that we use. The water soluble flux is gone after cleaning unless it was/could be encapsulated or tra

Need some input here..... The fear is that the if we use water soluble flux at the repair operation, that the no-clean encapsulation will capture some of the organic material as it cools down and goes to its original state. The organic material wil

Hello all, Has anyone used Kester 2331-ZX water soluble flux on selective soldering and expirienced a white film after soldering. I have seen this on and off for a few weeks now and believe it is a chemical reaction with the solder mask or improperly
