Canyou see this contamination? Is it solder beads, flux or something else? If flux, then more cleaning should help, either more time, more cycles through the cleaner, etc. If it is solder beads that are not melted to the rest of the solder, then s

First, we agree with Loco that your QFP is nonwetting, rather than dewetting. Your sceen-shots look like ol' timey SnPb paste recipes. Turn-up the heaterometer dial. Second, on nitrogen: * We kinda think your O2 needs to be around 100ppm with 99.99%

We currently have RMA and WS soldering processes here and do batch cleaning for both. We are experiencing some capacity issues and are interested in looking at an IN-LINE aqueous wash. My experience with in-line wash is only with WS. 1. Since RMAs

For smaller companies, it is difficult to justify the ~$35k cost of products in the class that you sell. On the other side of things, sloshing boards and stencils in a plastic wash pan containing flux thinner is not a good option either. Neither is

Hi, We are planning to use RMA flux based Solder Paste for our line. We are currently using a No-Clean Solder Paste. Can I use an aqueous cleaner to clean my board with the above paste ? How will I clean the board ? What are the advantages and disad
