You can determine empirically what will work. * Use ion chromatography [IPC-TM-650 2.3.28] to evaluate the residues and determine if the residues must be removed. * Use energy dispersive spectroscopy for the elemental analysis or chemical characteriz

Hello Everyone: Heat Can Be Very Damaging to Boards and well as extended oven time can cut into valuable production time. Steel Camel is testing ambient temperature drying to remove diffused and embedded moisture in PCBs. We are seeking scrap pie

See if there are any board shops near you. One might provide scraps in exchange for name dropping.

Mike: An omega meter has very little to do with ion chromatography. * IPC TM-650, 2.3.25B, Detection and Measurement of Ionizable Surface Contaminants is a process control method that washes boards with an isopropanol / water solution and measures

I know - A stimulating topic.... IPC-TM-650 2.3.28 method calls for a PCBA or PCB to be placed into a bag with solution, shake, analyze. Great. There is a method of doing this testing that focuses on a specific area of a PCB or a component where r

Shean made some good points and offered some good starting resources. Adding to what he said, I would also mention that many times, even a no-clean flux can cause contamination that requires cleaning. Our lab has dealt with numerous cases of client

Three popular methods: Resistivity of Solvent Extract (ROSE) Test Method IPC-TM-650 2.3.25: The ROSE test method is used as a process control tool to detect the presence of bulk ionics. The IPC upper limit is set at 10.0 *g/NaCl/in2. This test is p

Many Thanks Dave for your patience (GBY). I was just trying to give a chance to our connector Supllier to read few micrograms less of NaCl found with the connectors. But even if using a "bonus formula" they are out of specs. Following it could be i

First, welcome to your new job. Second, IPC-TM-650 2.6.14 is only loosely an �Ionic Contamination (Electromigration) Test�. * Electromigration Test, IPC TM 650 2.6.14, 2.6.14.1 * Ion Chromatography for Ionic Cleanliness, IPC TM 650 2.3.28 Third, I

Are you talking about bare board cleanliness or assembly level cleanliness? Bare board cleanliness is still primarily measured by resistivity of solvent extract (ROSE) using instruments such as Omegameters and Zero Ions. What is considered as "acce
