Hi Russ, Can you please clarify on what you mean by "after wash they should be gone since it is water soluble,".....the flux would be water soluble or otherwise, how does that relate to solder balls being removed by cleaning?...i can see them being r

Chunks is a pretty with-it dude. The only additional thought I have is the possibility of poor misprint cleaning. If they're wiping instead of spray or US washing they may be contaminating the boards prior to reprinting. And yes, I know Chunks is

Hello, we are currently running no clean flux on our Jade model pillarhouse selective solder machine and i would like to switch the flux over to Water Soluable. Are there any concerens with running water soluable on these machines? I have heard tha

Any materials that come in contact with the flux should be made from stainless steel, titanium, or plastics. These materials will not corrode from OA fluxes. Overspray is an issue. I think Pillerhouse has that jet fluxer, so I don�t think there is mu

I would imagine your system is either stainless and/or some form of plastic. The water can rust but I doubt your machine has any metal that would be affected by it. You may want to double check your spray cell as well. We have been running water s

What type of water soluable flux are you running in you selective solder machines? I know that we had to replace the ruby that the solder shoots through at the top of the fluxer once because of crystalization. That was not a cheap replacement. Doe

I hear Pillarhouse is the "Yugo" of Select soldering! :) Chunks et al is correct that if the innards of the fluxing system are made of non-corrosive mat'ls, you should be okay. I used to deal with the original AT&T Spray fluxers and their spray no

I have seen a lot of discussion recently regarding reverse spike and double spikes in the reflow profiles of ovens. This is where a zone other then the last zone is the peak temperature, or where the last 2 zones have the same setpoint. Anyone have

Hi all, I need to find a solution for a problem I have. I need to replace BGAs which have been glued to a laptop board with superglue (Loctite). How can it be done without removing the pads when trying to remove the foreign glue? thanks in advance

If you really have Loctite Super Glue it is a cyanoacrylate and can be removed with acetone. If you have a Loctite aneorbic glue that has not hardened yet, acetone will remove it. If an anerobic has hardened I know of nothing that will remove it. Als
