I got an inquiry from one of our electronics labs with regards to their soldering processes. They use eutectic (63% Sn, 37% Pb) solder. For liquid flux they are currently using Kester 186, which is an old-school, full rosin (RMA and ROL1) flux that c

I work for an R&D company that is starting to do some prototype and limited production circuit cards. We are deciding how we want to build these boards, and we are wondering what we should do about flux and cleaning. We have circuits that run at 15

We have customers that are requiring no flux residue left on boards after soldering of non-water washable parts. We currently use Multicore Crystal 502 No-Clean to solder parts that are not washable. Has anyone come up with a good way to remove this

Talk about bucking the trend!!! OK, OK, I know some US military work still requires RMA. You�re both correct. Cleaning decisions for RMA fluxed boards are based on customers requirements. [Some do (clean) and some don�t.] Older US military speci

Dear JSK, It sounds like the root causes of your problem are two fold. First, excessive heat will polymerize the abietic acid found in rosin forming neo-abietic diamers and polymers which are much less soluble than the parent monomer. There are

Resistivity Of Solvent Extract [ROSE] is a bulk ion contamination [BIC] test method. It should thought of as a process control tool used to assess ionic contaminants. Don't consider it an acceptable tool for establishing 'GO-NOGO' limits. The stan

Mike -- Thanks for the information. It is very helpful. Is there any information available that shows what flux most companies are using? What fluxes are most companies that are producing Space, MIL-Spec, or other high-reliability assemblies usin
