We are trying to build two different PCBs - one with no wash flux solder paste and the other with a washable flux solder paste. How difficult is it to use the same SMT line and switch between the two pastes? I assume there will be some cleaning invol

Hi Jeff, Sean is correct. Although ultrasonic technology will work in post-reflow de-fluxing applications, you will receive concerns regarding ultrasonic �damage� to wire bonded components. Much has been written to combat this belief but the conce

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.

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

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
