First, it's GREAT to have a long-term lurker posting here on SMTnet. Maybe this will encourage other lurkers to join us. [We'll try to be on our best behavior.] Second, while Stephen Pence's explanation of 'equivalence factors' is accurate, your con

Hi Jacki, Water soluble flux was for the majority used in the USA in the 80’s and 90’s under the motto “flux your problems away” (water soluble fluxes are very active). Water soluble fluxes have never been popular in the rest of the world. The main

Fred: I'm tryin' my darndest to be good, because, for whatever stupid reason, I feel that you're making an honest inquiry and not just floating something to find the biggest sucker. If only Earl was still here, he'd always bite on stuff like this.

The issue is not the cleanliness of your in-bound water. The issue is the cleanliness of the board your customer receives. Look at J-STD-001C, Para 8, "Cleanliness Requirements". The end product cleanliness is the end result of your: * In-bound

Consider using a roll solder with a flux that well matches the residues you can accept to be remaining on the board when you get finished processing. Many people use a no-clean flux cored roll solder for such operations, because they don't want to c
