What about trying to clean these stencils with a proper stencil cleaner? This way you wouldn't have to worry about sending anything airborne.

I´m looking for a PCB cleaning system, basically for misprint, low volumen. I have found the OKO 2000, I would appreciate any comment about experience with this machine. Thanks,

Dear all Can any1 explain me about the variuos types flux and their cleaning procedure? I have confusion in claen,non-clean,RMA, and water soluble. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jacki, Water soluble flux was for the majority used in the USA in the 80’s and 90’s under the motto “flux your problems away” (water soluble fluxes are very active). Water soluble fluxes have never been popular in the rest of the world. The main

You should look at Amtech Solders. They have excellent no-clean fluxes that are designed to be water washable if desired. We have been using them with great results for about 4 years now.

Yes, but even high force probes are not a cure-all. You still get flux build-up over time which can cause contact issues. The best way is to use a low residue flux in the wave to minimize what's left on the pcb post-wave.

How many non-hermetically sealed parts does each board have? If it is only 1 or 2, could you attach them AFTER an aqueous cleaning process?

There are only two (2), but the qty and size do not really prohibit hand soldering and we would still need to clean around their leads manually to meet the cleanliness spec.
