Inline Aqueous Wash for WS and RMA fluxes

Electronics Forum | Fri Dec 08 02:40:45 EST 2006 | Mike Konrad

Hi 'K', We manufacture both batch and inline defluxing equipment so we have no axe to grind with either technology. There are pros and cons associated with both technologies under specific conditions. Batch machines are typically good cleaners but

Marking on shrink tubing

Electronics Forum | Wed Jan 03 19:12:09 EST 2007 | Mike F

If I could set it up for markers and leave it I probably would not be as frustrated with the printer. We also run polyimide labels through that same printer, which means you have to adjust that sensor to a different position. Then when we switch back

Bake out CCA

Normally someone would have replied to tell you to do a search of the archives. I've read at least 4 or 5 different threads dealing with baking out PWB's, but none were for this special material. First, have you contacted the manufacturer of the PW

Ionic Cleanliness testing

Electronics Forum | Tue Apr 03 20:46:32 EDT 2007 | Mike Konrad

We manufacture similar equipment. I would recommend that most of the testing be performed in an automatic shut-off mode. There are potential issues with both methods, automatic shut-off and fixed time tests. In an automatic shut-off mode, the cl

DI water testing?

Electronics Forum | Sat Aug 25 00:26:22 EDT 2007 | aqueous

Dave, First of all, distilled water is not DI water. It is not the same thing. If you require DI water, you should know what quality is expected for your application. For example, for defluxing applications, generally DI water quality exceeding

Flux residue

Electronics Forum | Tue Jul 28 07:42:07 EDT 2009 | Mike Konrad

Hi Sean, No-clean flux does leave a residue. Under the best conditions, it is invisible. There are many factors that can cause the residue to become visible such as an inadequate oven profile (or lack of proper preheat on a wave). Also, if wave s

Hi Johan, As a Asian board supplier - I would not recommend using Lead free hasl on any product that has BGA, you would be just looking for issues, flatness being the main. I agree with one of the other replies - Your purchasing dept. should not be

Using isopropanol with DI water for rinsing after washing boards

Electronics Forum | Thu Nov 10 10:45:32 EST 2011 | aqueous

The use of IPA in automated defluxing systems is nearly extinct for the following reasons: 1. IPA is flammable. In a spray-in-air environment, the already low flashpoint is even lower. 2. IPA is not a great solvent. There are specific containme
