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

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

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

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

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
