It does specify when to clean. But when we open it up, there's not much flux in the containment. The containment doesnt seem to trap the flux. infact, we hv more flux in the duct than the containment. anyway, we will talk to MFGR to get their rec

Are you aware of Austin American Technology's "Mega" process. It combines MegaSolv chemistry with the Mega II cleaning system. MegaSolv is a single non-aqueous solvent which is deionized by the Mega thru a special solvent compatible mixed bed on-bo

Hi Roger, Our customers use their Smart Sonic Stencil Cleaners for cleaning SMT and wave pallets. There are two primary protocols used. 1) If you have a large quantity of pallets and they are becoming contaminated rapidly, a dedicated stencil clean

| Hi all, | | I thought I'd use this forum to ask a couple general questions on fluxes for manual operations: | First - Is it OK to use a wave soldering type flux (specifically OA)? Thinking about activation temperatures and the ramp rate of the wav

Hi, thanks for your input. Yes, we do have a rework station - specifically a SRT Summitt 1000 station, but it causes us many problems and is down more than it's up...I do not think that using it would speed up the process at all. As far as accuracy

Hello Greg, there are several things to be considered: I will start this investigation in the oven. Look in your cooling zones. Many ovens build up a lot of flux there(especially the ones with water cooling) and should be cleaned every so often.

| If I clean my assembly and find no visable contamination with the unaided eye, do I need to do cleanliness testing prior to conformal coating? | More than likely, you're okay if you can't see any contamination with the unaided eye. However, the

We have an Electra 600F. Can someone please tell me if the standard spray fluxing unit (that comes with the machine) is designed for Clean or No Clean processes? In other words, can the nozzles be changed to accomodate either flux? Is the application

If whatever is preventing the leads on your component from wetting is oxidation, cleaning the component will not help. Consider trying a more active flux prior to soldering. Understand from your supplier the potential complications that may affect

Here's what I believe is happening. The main difference between the HASL boards and the gold plated boards is that HASL boards are pre-soldered. HASL boards need very little flux activity to get good hole fill and the machine settings have a wide pro
