The issue of using ultrasonic technology for post reflow de-fluxing presents challenges in two categories: Controversial: Although there are recent studies that indicate acceptance with ultrasonic technology on populated assemblies, there remains si

Guo: You want to know: 1 Can I use water as the solvent in an ultrasonic machine to remove solder paste from PCB? Continuing from Jason�s comments: Sure you can use water as the solvent to remove solder paste from PCB, but recognize that some flu

When cleaning water washable flux from PCBs using U/S, the final rinse can be with spray DI water for aesthetic purposes because the wash cycle is really just a long U/S rinse (no added chemistry). Fresh DI water should be continuously added to fresh

Does anyone have any information regarding damaged caused to components due to overheating primarily with a heatgun? I'm having a hard time getting engineering to comply. Thanks

We are currently experiencing problems with delamination during rework/2nd op activity on lead free. I am suspecting this is a result of the use of a heat gun to rework components. My assumption is that the high heat and time in area greatly increa

There is none, since we don't know your part or temp being used. A heat gun CAN be used to remove parts with no damage, if its controled. You need to look up your part on the manufacturers web site, find the process data (time/temp)the part is desi

Ah, yes. The age-old battle of Production Supervision versus Process Engineering. I guess you just need to tell your Process Engineer, "Pretty please with sugar on top, investigate this f*cking issue."

RS sell a heat cun that is fully temperature adjustable buy one of them and pre set it to the right temp then put a calibration sticker over the control.

Heat guns used improperly will definitely damage components. You must have a controlled heat gun that can be set to the max temp you want pb =215C max, Pbfree maybe 240C max. This heat gun must not be able to be adjusted or you must have total trus
