Lots of papers out there on HiFreq circuits and the effects of solder paste residue. Google Dr. Karen Tellefsen. Simple test...take a "failed" board, remove the residues, test again. Has the problem gone away?

"Effects of surface finish on high frequency signal loss using various substrate materials" - Call Don Cullen at Mac Dermid or Larry Gatewood at Rockwell Collins for a copy.

can you send me the articles about the high frequency boards issues with different types of solder paste alloy because i can`t find any free document about this article

Does it fail to function or does it function outside of acceptable tolerances? If the latter I wouldn't know what to think, but if the former I would feel obligated to suspect solder quality or maybe even a component problem with the elevated lead-

everything else EXACTLY the same? meaning exact same product number from the same manufacturer same fluxes used in the paste? no additional no clean "touchup" or hand soldering operations? No expert by any means but it would seem odd to me that the

hi we use a no clean solder paste with the sn63pb37 alloy and our high frquency board doesn`t have any problem in test but after this product is finished now we use 2 different solder pastes 1. sn62 pb36 Ag.4 RA tape 2. NC type lead free with Ag i

I have always understood that on boards (or circuits) operating over 900 MHz, No Clean fluxes are to be avoided. Apparently the residues left behind, while non-conductive and non-corrosive, will change impedence of the circuit. It may be a possibil

Good morning Bob. Darby from Australia here. We sometimes see an orange peel type finish on our reflow solder joints when viewed under the microscope. Any ideas on what causes this ? Should I worry about it. I use a straight rise profile ( no "platea

For low volume hand assembly, deionized water or IPA should work fine.

On your question about reliability ... " Is there testing we can do (environmental stress chambers) with which we can see the long-term effects of flux residue on solder joints?" Sure, incompletely activated low residue flux residues are potentially
