| | I have boards coated with Humiseal 1B73. At a late point mfg. site we need to remove a series of 0603 resistors for optioning purposes. I have been trying to determine the fastest, easiest way to re-coat the pads after removal. Drying time of the

The Kyzen product was brought to my attention from a chemist at Kester solders when I asked him what could remove no clean residue from a PCB that had been built weeks earlier. We soaked it in the Kyzen for 8 minutes and ran the board through the aq

First, responding to your question � Several things on copper dissolution in solder are: * A 50um copper wire will dissolve in 60Sn / 40Pb solder at: - 200�C solder in 55 seconds; - 250�C solder in 20 seconds; - 300�C solder in 5 seconds; - 350�C so

First question - do you have a rework station? If so, are you experiencing the same type of failures there? I have successfully used no-clean on uBGA's in the past. 6 mil solder bumps, 10 mil spacing. 88 sites. Are you reusing previously soldered uB

Hi Ken. It's always fun and a good exercise to debat on a interesting subject like this. I can see at your response that I have to clarify some of the issues. Yes, the placement machine should be the line bottleneck. And in a line with more placem

Grant, No-Clean paste + IPA = White Residue! #1: Stop using IPA #2: Switch to either a solvent-based de-fluxing chemical or an aqueous-based de-fluxing chemical. If you are using an ultrasonic cleaner for your boards as stated, do not use sapon

Mario, Hi, basic point about all quality systems, is the cost justified? Traceability is just one aspect coverage in the quality system. As a pointer, is your diploma project research might focus and narrow down into tracability in high-end product

First, you must determine a few things: 1. What specific de-fluxing chemical are you going to use? Basic required determinations include the chemical�s pH, is it a VOC (if so, what is its VOC content), what concentration is the chemical used in (1
