At this moment in time we are using water soluble solder paste on our PCBs these are cleaned using water only, agitated with ultrasonics. After drying a white/grey residue is left around solder joints. Reflow profile is fine and a reliable wash proce

Jaqueline There are so many variables in the electronic assembly manufacturing process involving more than 12 different chemistries, that it is impossible to easily identify and determine the nature and reason of such residues. GEC Hirst Research in

Actually, the white res were caused by the water carrier in your Lonco 23F reacting with the res from the nc flux used to solder the component in place. Comments are: * Some nc flux res are cleanable, some are not. Your supplier [Alpha?] can probab

Hi Jacqueline! The dreaded white residue huh? YUCK! This seems to be a ongoing issue...probably because there are many different things that can possibly cause this. There's a real good article about the different causes of this problem at Kest

Hi guys, I really am at a loss to understand this one. It would appear that there may be some reaction between the flux and the resist? Or maybe you have an OSP on the board that is reacting during soldering? As a fast fix, maybe you should try a

|I'm getting in a little late on this but my 2 cents is: We have been using no-clean flux for a few years now but up till last month were still cleaning (the white residue) our boards (all thru hole). Finally did some investigation and found the flux
