Yikes!! In-line cleaning, to clean cosmetic and benign residues (from a NO-CLEAN) flux... You sure you can't switch fluxes? Another variable with residues is the solder mask. Depending on mask type (glossy, matte, semi-gloss, or semi-matte), will

Hi, Yes, I would hate to resort to cleaning, but the product must be clean. We have been using palettes to keep most of the flux off the PCB, but there is still residue around the connectors. Does anyone suggest a good no clean flux to use with le

Hey pr...sure it's warm there, but I also hear that in that area where you live it's not too uncommon to have a kiddie pool in the front yard (with a couple of darkies in there), pickup truck parked on the front lawn, chain-link dog jails, with you o

Correct preheating of the assembly is critical. Check with your flux manufacturer regarding the recommended topside pcb temperature as it enters the first wave. It is important that this temperature be achieved without burning the flux on the bottom

Watch your dwell time especially if larger components. Problem is normally associated with lower temp as well as insufficient flux coverage with larger massed boards or ground planes. Try to hand spray a board to check that fluxer operation is OK. If

It does sound like your leads are to long, speeding it up will reduce volume on lead and most will wick up the joint but when slow excess solder is left as long leads will have little flux left to aid drainage when it leaves the wave, thus giving a s

Bruce, regards to all who are trying to help and have great input, with those type of lead length, I would be very impressed to see you get rid of the problem, and as the others said, no clean in a foam fluxer, not good but workable.... the real issu
