You can try using the brand-solvent "Genesolv 2004" in conjunction with a degreaser machine(source for own machine type?). this all helps to clean off the NC flux. we used it all integrated together, to clean a satellite modular card. reason we ha

We agree with John. It's possible to clean under 1.27 and 1 mm BGA. These devices have a reasonable stand-off that allows cleaning of water soluable flux residues with modern cleaners. So, if you have process problems with low-res fluxes, what mak

So, after the repair of a BGA, you notice white reside on a nearby connector. Correct? [Sorry we're so dense. Long day.] Tell us about: * Flux class used in repair * Flux class used in original assembly Why are you baking the assembly after repair

definitely don't mix clean and No clean. Run No Clean as you decided, but have your flux and paste manufacturers advice, how this flux can be cleaned(if you decide or required to clean). I know for a fact that some of these NC flux residues are almos

I agree with analysis. You'll never accurately find the source until you determine exactly what the "goo" is. We have this problem, but like previous posters, the goo is flux residue. We do use the ovens for both reflow and adhesive cure. The adh

Hi Chen, This is largely dependent on what type of chemistry can successfully remove the residue, while being compatible with your cleaning equipment. Austin American Technology is happy to help you determine this, please contact me offline to disc

On the dendritic growth over the top of the capacitor: We agree that your capacitor supplier probably did not do a very good job of cleaning process residues from their device. On the metallic fragments under the capacitor: This sounds like solder

I'm not sure that would be valid. My understanding was that solids were trapped by other non-active flux residue. Which is why you can leave them on and why you see white residue after washing. I think the ROSE test would release particles that woul

We use (and have for some time) used No-clean on our radio boards with no problems. We also conformally coat with a platinum catalyzed, addition cure silicone coating with occassional problems. These silicones are prone to cure inhibition or retard

We'd guess that your white residue on the solder is from minerals in the supply water. We expect the levels of these minerals that you see: * Vary depending on the season. Check with your public water authority for anaylsis. [Recognize that this ma
