My company currently uses water soluble paste for our SMT process. We were having trouble retaining hot water in our in line, closed loop DI cleaner. The cleaner kept shutting down when the water temp. dropped below 125C. As a result, the conveyor

| i had a problem here, during the wave soldering process, we apply a water soluble mask on the gold finger to protect it from contamination. But after washing, there is still some mask left on the gold finger. | Can anyone pls advise is there any pa

Curious, very curious ... Residues � Where are these residues? [solder & laminate / mask, solder only, laminate / mask only] What is the result of your analysis to the residues? How do you know it�s a flux residue, rather than a chemical by product

Thanks for your reply. I 've tried to clarify and answer your questions. The water soluble paste used is WS3060, type 4. The boards are sent through a inline di cleaner after reflow. There is a hot Di waterwash, rinse and then hot air to dry the wa

Steve, Water-soluble fluxes are per definition very corrosive and need to be cleaned (read the data sheet) Encapsulation will prevent humidity reaching the water-soluble acids but will not prevent reducing the metals the flux is in contact with to m

Jim, you may need to look with different paste instead of the cleaning solvent. Please advise what is the paste which you currently using? Beside, when you talking about the board stayed in hot area, is it a drying area or the cleaning zone. If it

Sorry, but I don't know this brand. Anyway pay attention, because if the chemistry is resin based, is difficult to clean and the residuals may be hygroscopic. So, I only can suggest you to read the data sheet and follow the instructions by the solder

Davef is right on as usual. We are doing exactly what you do. Some smt with no clean paste then the plate through connectors on our selective solder machine using water soluble flux. We then clean with a ultrasonic water process. We do see the re

Hi, We have solder reflow use with water soluble flux and Tin/lead process. There is special glass component which needs to mask during reflow soldering and wash flux+solder mask post soldering. The existing solder mask does washes off. But leaves

I am interested in locating a water soluble resist mask that does not leave a residue after wash and is easy to work with during the screen printing process. I have tried the Alpha Metals 110 and 220 solder mask and have found that it does not leave
