Thanks for the information. davef, I will search for and review the Ion Chromatography for Ionic Cleanliness test method. This definitely is the test I want to perform. Do you know what the IPC specification is using this test method? The outside

Shean made some good points and offered some good starting resources. Adding to what he said, I would also mention that many times, even a no-clean flux can cause contamination that requires cleaning. Our lab has dealt with numerous cases of client

I would suggest that it would be helpful to perform ion chromatography analysis on some of the boards that have failed your ionograph tests as well as some boards that have passed. This will tell you exactly what ionic species are present on the boa

I am not expert, just my comment, the total ionic contamination allowed after SMT, by using No Clean process, theoretically it should be close to Zero. Any way the Standard IPC-JSTD-001 allows 1,56 ugr NaCl/cm2 for the final Printed Board assembled.

Our Customer had detected tarnished pad on ImAg PCBA and had conducted several SEM-EDX test at the soldermask below some of the chip resistors. High concentration of sulfur was found and it can be significantly reduced after further chemical cleaned

I know - A stimulating topic.... IPC-TM-650 2.3.28 method calls for a PCBA or PCB to be placed into a bag with solution, shake, analyze. Great. There is a method of doing this testing that focuses on a specific area of a PCB or a component where r

Graham: I agree. Very thorny. What is clean?? And how is that controlled?? Back 25 or so years ago, soldering was done with high solids rosin fluxes. The issue with cleanliness was ionic contamination. The US military and others set a fairly a
