I'm in the middle of developing an ESD program at my company, trying to adhere to S20.20 as much as possible (and the suggestions of the ESD audit conducted before I got here). I've been discussing the pros/cons of pink-poly foams and black foams.

Good morning! I'm sorry to hear about the anomalies you're experiencing with your inline wash. Dealing with foaming issues can be challenging, but I'll do my best to provide some suggestions to help you troubleshoot the problem. 1. Check the Water Q

Beware the foam fluxer. I had a problem with cracked caps that just about drove me off the deep end. I discovered that my foam fluxer air knife was not turned on resulting in excessive flux. The excessive flux (VOC free) was not properly dried off

Need some feedback here. We're running a foam fluxer using WS chemistry (AIM 715M). We have been running almost exclusively .062 and a few .093" PCBs but we've recently started running some boards that are .100 and .125 thickness and are having tro

When using a foam fluxer: 1. Bubble size is important. What stones are you using? Ever clean them? Too large a bubble will NOT help your situation. (I forget bubble size range....check with your fluxer mfgr.) 2. Thinner will help in capilary m

Foam fluxer, ouch!! That hurts. How about this? * Make a sheet metal box to cover your preheaters. [If your boss is really cheap, make a 'box' with 1/2" chicken wire and cover it with aluminum foil.] * Prebake the blank out of the boards, bag the

Hi Hope a few others give you applicable experience to your question. I never had a real long shut down, yet have experienced short shut down problems. I would run it in the best cleaner you have in your shop before you shut down for a long spell,

A surfactant (AKA detergent) is great for OA flux removal applications. It has a good surface tension reducing property and is more easily rinsed than soaps. If using a soap or surfactant, be sure that you choose one that has a good de-foaming pack

In almost every application an ultrasonic spray fluxer will out perform foam fluxing. Better soldering results are what most expereince after making the change to U/S spray. There are good ultrasonic units from USI and Sono-Tek. www.ultraspray.com w
