Hi Scott - No clean assemblies have a very low tolerance for processing residues, and long term reliability is compromised if residues from incoming bare boards, components, or un-solublized flux residues are not dealt with. It is critical to contro

Thank you guys for your help, I do not clean any on my assemblies who are build by the SMT an wave soldering department, we do used liquid fluxes Kester 951 and cored wire keester 245, usually it�s for batteries connector, led, terminal and wire rap

Hi I have a funny feeling that Mike Konrad and I know each other from IBM-Endicott days, yet I could be wrong. It would be funny?? Mike gave a good answer. The Rosin or Rosin Mildly Activated Flux (RMA) if on the board at ICT (In Circuit Test) wil

I hated no-clean for that reason. Yea, the boards are pretty clean and in many cases don't need cleaning but it's not worth it when you consider what it does to your ovens in my opinion. Do water soluable fluxes cause the same havoc in a re-flow?

Stay away from used Nitrogen ovens unless you have a specific need for it. The flux management is a pain in the arse to clean. I don't care how simple they claim it is.

We don�t use this glue. What does Heraeus say about your condensate? [I'm With the previous poster. Your condensate sounds like goop from NC flux not glue.] How to clean out a 3 meter length of chimney? Depends on your tolerance for pain * Take

We run BTU, Vitronics and Electrovert. All of those are rock solid machines AS LONG AS YOU KEEP THEM PM'ed. For some reason companies seem to neglect their oven PM's. Make sure you are buying an air only oven if you aren’t running nitrogen. The flux

Does anyone have wave solder experience using OSP and VOC free no clean flux?

Do we need to clean after hand soldering with no-clean flux solder wire? I am just wondering. The flux is clearly visible. Will there be any long term negative effects on the modules? Is there any IPC requirement on cleaning it? BTW, I talk about

Yes, but even high force probes are not a cure-all. You still get flux build-up over time which can cause contact issues. The best way is to use a low residue flux in the wave to minimize what's left on the pcb post-wave.
