This is sort of interesting. We had a clock problem with Alpha OM-338 lead free paste. The flux residue was causing a clock problem and the clock was only a few KHz. We went back ot OM-5100 lead paste and the problem never occurred again. Chris

We evaluated four SAC305 pastes. Of the four, we found Alpha OM-338 to appear to have the least flux residue. We also found it to be the most dull, least shiny, most non-SnPb looking of the four.

You will probably need to change paste. If I remember correctly the SMQ92J has a post reflow residue of 40%. This is one of the highest post reflow residue levels available. PIH uses a lot of paste which means a lot of flux residue. There are othe

Thanks davef Bridging:- There is no heat sink on the BGA, the heat sink will be fix after relow. I do believe paste had something to do with it, but currently this defect didn't appear so oftenly, so we think that the main root cause is not from the

We assemble for a customer that is having an inconsistent low level analog interference we believe with the no clean flux residue from Alphas OM5100 solder paste. We are considering testing Amtechs 4300 water washable no clean paste. We will test bot

Even though this is a "no clean" flux, are you (or the customer) cleaning the boards? If this is truly a low signal level device, there is no way you will get away without cleaning the flux residue. I do a lot of low-level hardware, and we have to
