if two boards with different solder masks give different results on flux residue level after soldering with the exact same machine settings than it is clear that one of the solder masks is not compatible with your no-clean flux. could be the solder m

we have problem in setting the density of a no clean flux for using before wave soldering . first we dilute the flux but we have many short circuit problem between the pads of edge connector,then we densify the flux all the short circuit is removed b

Matt solder mask finishes gives the widest process window in view of potential amount of residues when using No-Clean. Shiny (glass like) finishes are more sensitive to residues due to lower surface area compared to matt finish. If the shiny finish i

I think WML ought to have some photos on how to do this...

what is WML ? can you please explain more

Larry, I'm seeing a pattern here of you and fire!?!?! What gives?

Tell the board shop to increase the cure temp of the resist as it is undecured especially if you have waxy/greasy resiues on the board and a brown tar like substence in the solder wave itself. If undercured then solder will not flow off the resist pr

Omid, No-clean fluxes need to be used right out of the can without thinning. In the past with RA and RMA fluxes you could adjust or thin them to your desired density because they had plenty of solids up to 30%. No-Clean fluxes have a lot lower solid

Why yes, I regognize all the best. WML, I have an idea... I am going to call it, the Dunker. Instead of anyone foaming, I will get the wave operators to throw the boards into a rubbermaid tub full of flux/gasoline mixture and send through to the wav

we have two similar pcb from two different pcb manufacturer one of them passed the wave soldering without any short circuit and residue and another one passed it with many residue . don`t you think that the type of solder mask from these two pcb manu
