We use NC flux exclusively for SMT and wave soldering. And it is a fairly old formula from Multicore, though we are currently qualifying a new formula. The automated soldering does not appear to be a problem. It is only the hand soldering that causes

New pcba supplier sent us first article pcbas (SMT, Wave & hand solder operations) that failed our testing due to no-clean flux residues found under ICs and around passive capacitors. Second lot came in and had 100% pass yield, but we still see a cl

I also have a spreadsheet tool for comparative analysis using criterion weighted scoring. It can be used to analyze any decision, and helps groups reach consensus on why a particular alternative is the way to go. As final steps you can also consider

We don't agree that "a little to the top would just even things out". The raw flux on the top of the board never touches the wave and so, does not receive the proper amount of heat for activation, except at the through hole barrels. * We assume WML

Another issue is that once solder paste has been reflowed, the majority of the flux is gone. If it is reflowed again without solder flux, the risk of introducing oxidation to the component leads is increased, thus creating a weak solder joint.

Hi, I am currently looking for a replacement solvent to remove RMA flux from Hybred Ceramic Substrates after reflow. We are currently using Dichloromethane in a Crest AVD500 wash. This solvent carries an R40 risk phrase, hence we are on a drive f

you might want to take a look at Genesolv it seemed to work well at my last job, but I am unsure about what the risk phrase is on this product.

Not really, if this is a normal consumer electronics, could be no big issue. Anyway flux residue provide ions and the substance absorb water or moisture. If for automotive or space, could have high risk, it depends your application.

Thank you for your response. We build boards on an SMT line that is shared with other companies too and are currently using water soluble flux based solder paste on both boards. We realized an issue with washing on one of the boards so requested to

Hi All, I am trying to figure out the best way to rework around 2.7K worth of 48pin QFP ICs. I am trying to salvage these ICs from defective PCBA and they have quite a bit of rosin flux on them. Does anyone know how to get the flux off while minim
