Obviously, if your customer instructs you to use a certain flux type, using THAT flux type is probably a good idea. Responding to your question: Chloride is one of the more detrimental materials found on printed circuit assemblies. Chlorides can com

| It seems to be that we have to much NaCl left on our assambled PCB's. | The flux we use is from cobar. They say it can not be from the flux... So what can be the reason, what kind of problem may occer when there is to much NaCl. | George, Are you

The Omegameter (or Ionograph) detect contamination by measuring the conductivity of the solution used to extract the board. This conductivity number reflects the sum of all of the ionics in the extraction solution. Unfortunately, we can't sort out th

Hey Mar, Sounds serious!!! Poke around Buehler, Leco, or Struers Try IPC TM-650 Test Methods Manual: 2.3.6A Etching, Ammonium Persulfate Method - 7/75 2.3.7A Etching, Ferric Chloride Method - 7/75 2.3.7.1A Cupric Chloride Etching Method - 12/94

Hi, We have a issue with current leakage between pins on an SSOP 28 in a low frequency RF application and there is a suspicion that it is being caused by something in the flux residue. We have had the bad boards analyzed and a 'high' Chloride level w

If you have soldered with HASL finish then the worrying chemistry will be more like NON IONIC. They sit there and attract moisture like mad and any chlorides they hold ionize in the moisture attracted and cause electromigration or SIR issues. They ca

Does anyone know of a less expensive technique to monitor board cleanliness (chlorides in micrograms/in2) other than omega mater - ion chromatography is costing us an arm and a leg.

Are there incoming rinse water quality standards - specifically maximum concentrations of magnesium and chloride - for an aqueous or semi-aqueous cleaning process? If there aren't standards, does anyone have experience with what the max can be befor

Davef, thanks for inputs. I think your correct, we have since obtained some ionic analysis and sure enough there is relatively high chlorides on the bare pcbs. The toluene is controlled within dip tank / drying system, almost no exposure to workers.
