Hello, I am planning to use a water wash flux. As this is new to me, would you guys share what should I be aware of? I know cleaning PCBs itself presents issues. If you can share your experience so I can prepare better, it would be great.

I can't seem to locate any information/concerns about moisture entrapment in IC packages on the promary side in a double sided SMT assembly using water soluable solder paste when soldering the second side. A typical process would assemble/reflow/cle

Hi Greg, I'm with you on that one - yes, as engineers we should be able to come back at sales people who claim their products walk on water, but you do seem to have had an excessively unfair kicking recently.

The easiest way to prove out the absorbtion theory is to weigh the parts before wash, after wash, and after baking. You probably want to do this with the bare parts in isolation as the fab will pick up considerable moisture. Differences in weight s

Hi Bill, You should try pre-baking any such old devices prior to using on SMT Reflow. Refering to MSL-type3 guidelines could help in your case.

We understand the problem of trying to coat over RTV. We have seen the same problem with acrylic and urethane coatings not wanting to stick to RTV. Some acrylics seem to be worse than urethane. Since this is a new product, may be you could pot your

Sounds like a epididymis! It depends on your paste chemistry. You can't just slap any old saponifier in there. Most water based cleaners evaporate the water and you have to remove the dried paste. It's a bit messy, maybe that's why your's is over

we are using solder paste WS609 and OM5100.Relow oven: forced convection type. For WS609 and OM5100, straight ramp up profile is suitable for low to medium thermal mass assemblies and preheating may be required for high thermal mass assemblies. How

I agree with Sr. Tech. If a product is good, no excusues that's good, but if a product is said to walk on water and it does not, I pretend that people having the bad experience to report it over here so that one can evaluate the problem. I say EVALUA

Here is a nugget from the Data Sheet... Wave Soldering: Excess moisture on the PCB during soldering may lead to random solder balling and poor wetting of some solder joints. IT IS IMPORTANT that the flux solvent carrier (water) is fully evaporated a
