| | Hello Netters, | | | | I need some info, Earl or Dave, I have a PCB that exhibits a white layer on solder side. It does not appear to be surface residues (IPA has no effect), but looks like its under solder mask. My first guess is that the LPI

The criterion you use will depend on the test method you select. For minimum requirements, look at J-STD-001C, Para 8, "Cleanliness Requirements". I figure that you�d measure the residues on a lot of your current product, measure the res on a lot o

John, As Dave says, never clean raw paste. Let it sit for at least 24 hrs if you can and use a plastic spatula to wipe off the bulk of it. The "drier" the paste the easier it is to remove without it travelling down vias etc. You will then have to cho

Degeaser isn't a good chemical to use either cause it leaves a residue so don't use it. alcohol works good. Not sure why everyone thinks it blows up. heck i remeber back in the day when I hade 24 inch foam fluxers bubbling flux and alcohol (IPA no

I feared so. The only thing to be done is to tell the PCB manufacturer to increase the Thermal cure so dont set the oven to 150C but to 170C and actually measure the middle board and once it hits 155C then give it an hour cure from then. Also insist

Hi Experts, I need help here, advice appreciated from all... Production is running a Lot of flex-circuit PCB, through the SMT line, with 0402 components. The flex-PCB is taped to FR4 support "pallets" when processing thru' the SMT P&P m/c. We use
