| Chiakl | Ion Chromatography has been perfectly described by Dave, but here are a couple of extra considerations: | Ion Chromatography will tell you precisely what is present on the surface of your board/assembly but it will not tell you whether it

I�m aware of no such standard. There may be something in Euroland [ie, IEC, etc.] TM-650 �Test Methods Manual� has procedures for measuring various types of contamination, such as: * 2.2.25 �Detection Of Ionizable Surface Contaminants� * 2.2.27 �Cl

Peterson: Ionic flux residues when combined with moisture and a voltage differential can plate conductive �fingers� on the surface of a PCB, but that doesn�t sound like what�s going on here. Your NC flux should not be particularly conductive. For

I would switch PCB shops. Unless your oven profile is out of spec, consider a different PCB supplier. We have sourced very high volumes of PCBs (4L-6L) from offshore and can recommend a list of quality shops. Shops that we can recommend are: Sunta

ISO 9001-1994 and ISO 9001-2000 are significantly different regarding 'process'. In the 1994 version, processes were considered to be routine manufacturing processes [eg, drill a hole]. In the new ISO, a 'process' is more global and covers anything

90 Knoop. Q2: Thickness is 4 to 10 u" for Au and 300 to 400 u" for nickel A2: This looks like a ENIG spec. Although, the Ni is quite heavy, 150 uin is sufficient for most applications. [IPC-4552 ENIG specification: * Gold thickness of 0.075 - 0.125
