| Is the no clean solder paste as good? We are wondering if we can elliminate the wash when we change from through hole to surface mount. | John,
No clean is as good as your process, and the paste you are using. Everything I do is no clean and I have very little problem's. Ok you need to pay real close attention to your profiles and to your flux in wave solder ( yep no clean there too). Get in toe with a solderpaste supplier that is going to help you set thing's up nice at the start then keep the dicipline. There are some great no clean pastes and there are some,,,er um...not so great ones..so be fussy and ste up your trial's right really make the paste manufacturer work for your business.
Welcome to the fun stuff!
