Europe Chapter Webinar: Manual Cleaning of Printed Board Assemblies – Step by Step Guide

Organized by SMTA Europe

Monday, 10 May @ 2:30pm - 4:00pm GMT (9:30am - 11:00am US Eastern Time)

Presenter: Bob Willis, SMTA Europe

Overview

After rework, modification or second stage assembly cleaning of flux residues may need to be considered. Ideally a no clean flux, gel or solder paste should be used to avoid the need to clean selected areas. If manual cleaning is to be conducted every effort should be made to use materials or application methods that result in the minimum residues from the soldering process.

Planning and training staff in manual cleaning is very important to get the best possible result visually and to maintain product reliability. This is one of the first online training sessions to cover manual cleaning of board assemblies, highlighting the problems and solutions to successful manual cleaning.

Topics included in our webinar:

• Why clean
• Material selection
• Manual cleaning techniques
• Testing effective cleanliness
• Inspection requirements
• Component compatibility
• Reliability test techniques
   

After the webinar there is a Q&A session which provides ample time for all delegate questions to be answered. However, if a delegate has a process example they would like covered in the webinar, it will need to be provided in advance of the session. The webinar will run for between 60-90min with question and answer session. The webinars are limited to 100 delegates/companies. A copy of each of the slides presented will be provided after the webinar.
