Use the appropriate heat for that part. You can then use techspray flux remover with a brush. Spray the brush, and not the board, to reduce spreading the flux. Acetone or alcohol are less expensive and may work as well.

| I have had some field failures returned recently, the boards had flux contamination under the components in a sensitive area, Nothing really visible until the component was removed, and the board had no evidence of rework of any type. Is it poss

Hi Martin, Have you considered printing the flux with a stencil? Stencils can be used for printing more than just solder paste. Quite regularly people use stencils for printing thermal grease, fluxes, conductive epoxy and more. The thing I like

The first step in pinpointing the exact source of the fibers is to have them identified. Are they fiber glass, epoxy or flux? Or are they something else? I can help you with this if you want. Check out mfg-answers.com\ .

I am finding transparent fibres , specks or needle shaped threads inside my via holes. I am not sure these are fibre glass / epoxy or flux. I do not find many on bare board. The flux used is NC Low residue and this assy is Single sided . Presently

Dave, I had to contact Circuits Assembly, but I got the article. I'm going to forward it on to Ryan. I think you're on to his problem with flux becoming entrapped in the epoxy. It plays along with Locktites suggestion of a longer soak on his profile.

White residue can often be caused by overheating the flux. When this occurs the flux is polymerized, basically turning it into an epoxy. You can usually determine if this is the problem by taking a pencil eraser to it. If it comes off, you have overh

We agree that curing Loctite 3515 at lead-free temperatures is not a good idea. For lead-free, we know of some no-flow underfills, but no capillary flow underfills. Contact your underfill supplier for recommendations. When you have this conversati
