Hi All, Let me summarize the key facts and findings: 1) This is not a permanent problem. Only one production batch was affected. The cleaning solution was exchanged and now the cleaning process runs normally. 2) Probably the residues are not ion

Hi All, As a result of equipment damage I have a problem with a cleanliness of printed circuit assemblies. One whole production batch was polluted by ionic residues because a large amount of hard water had been penetrated in the water-supply system

Patrick, When you say "no-residue" what exactly do you mean? Is there truely "no-residue" or is it "no visible residue"? What type of ionic contamination results have you experienced? If you take a bare board that measures 0.0 NaCl and reflow it

Hi Patrick, With all due respect, it is easy to quantify zero. You made a claim that your flux produces ZERO residue. There are several industry-standards (IPC and Military) of determining the cleanliness of post-reflowed circuit assemblies. Th
