Probably because the flux manufacturers have deemed it necessary to increase flux volume by 20 - 25% compared to Leaded this is why more is being left over. Really not convinced of this increase in volume actually does anything. Black residue will be

Hello All, Is Ionic Cleanliness testing using say an Ionograph on No-clean assemblies a valid test? If not, why? I understand factors like PCB cleanliness but is the 1.56ug/in2 IPC criteria valid for no-clean assemblies and can an Ionograph be used

Hi, We have a white residue, which is visible, and we would like to have the produce clean as it's a PCI card, so users see the PCB. I am wondering if we need to install a cleaning stage to the line for these kinds of products. Can anyone give som

Try to process the composite pallet through the wave without any flux and view volume of smoke and if any residue is deposited in the wave when it exits. My guess is that the pallets are releasing some binders that are high boiling and this in turn c

Hi Does anyone know of any potential issues with using a ENIG pcb finish for lead free manufacturing ? I was once told that a pcb manufacturer found some "Pink Residue" on a batch of boards that had been finished with ENIG and been used for lead f

Tested recently on ENIG finish. profile as follows 100-150, 57 sec. 150 210, 46 sec. 210 + , 63 sec. Peak 231. This profile was developed for this paste as per Asahi literature. Operator said it "looked wet and smelled good"! Print quality was excel

Hi George, Depending on your product, wave soldering twice is not all that bad. Residues will be higher, but should only be cosmetic unless your product is sensitive to ionic contamination. You can set-up an alternate profile on your wave for 're-

This is sort of interesting. We had a clock problem with Alpha OM-338 lead free paste. The flux residue was causing a clock problem and the clock was only a few KHz. We went back ot OM-5100 lead paste and the problem never occurred again. Chris

Jerry, At the end of the article in the link you will see how the wave needs to look like. http://www.interfluxusa.com/Technical/No-Residue_implementation.htm This wave design has been adopted by most machine manufacturers and I would be surprised

We use a washer soluable solder flux for our solder wave. We then wash the boards in a dishwasher. We have done it this way for years without problems. We just got a new dishwasher and now we get residue on the solder (white marks) Anyone know of wh
