I got an inquiry from one of our electronics labs with regards to their soldering processes. They use eutectic (63% Sn, 37% Pb) solder. For liquid flux they are currently using Kester 186, which is an old-school, full rosin (RMA and ROL1) flux that c

The overwhelming technology used in post-reflow cleaning of electronic assemblies is aqueous. Prior to the 1990's, solvents and vapor degreasers dominated the cleaning industry. After the popular solvents were banned via a United Nations treaty, alte

Q1 Can anyone explain to me what is the clean and non clean solder? A1 The trend away from CFCs has lead many users to evaluate switching to no-clean soldering processes. The term "no-clean" is actually a common misnomer when used to describe a flux

DO NOT Mix Technologies.... If you are using a no clean solder paste use a no clean wave solder process. I have direct experience with using a no clean paste and a RA water-soluble wave solder process. When cleaning with the water wash system your

We currently bake plastic SMT parts in accordance with the IPC guidelines for moisture sensitive parts. Because we have double-sided boards that are subjected to either an aqueous or semi-aqueous cleaning process, we do a 24 hour bake at 125 deg. C

We have been populating lot of BGA boards and for all these boards we have been using No clean solderpaste. We are under the impression that aqueous cleaning is not recommended for BGA boards as the residue cannot be cleaned properly. However we are

Hello We are currently cleaning stencils from both process (PbSn and lead free) in the same cleaning machine. A customer is concerned about cross contamination of lead between stencils. Is there any test kit or tool that you can suggest to test the
