I think OA flux left on the pot would quickly looses its activity and become part of the dross waste stream, and smoke stream for that matter. Also, if your wave is setup properly your selective pallets will scour (push) the top of the lambda wav

I have a question about solder masking via's in a BGA pattern, and want to see if I'm thinking correctly about this. This problem is kind of along the same line as Carol's problem earlier. I think it's a bad idea to leave the via's free from solder

Both are equally efficient process control tools. Neither is particularly effective in testing ionic contamination. The best way to sell your customer on allowing you to do this is to show them that you understand the WHOLE process and are able

Q1: Will the ion chromatography be able to identify and quantify the contaminant? A1: Yes, it will identify and quantify the amount of contaminant. Obviously this is very useful in troubleshooting the source of the contaminant. [The only problem fo

Hi, Can anyone give me a bit of an advise or tip on how to reduce the flux residues on the board when it comes out of the wavesolder machine. The Vitronics Soltec 6622CC that we are using have been producing boards like this for years and people her

Three popular methods: Resistivity of Solvent Extract (ROSE) Test Method IPC-TM-650 2.3.25: The ROSE test method is used as a process control tool to detect the presence of bulk ionics. The IPC upper limit is set at 10.0 *g/NaCl/in2. This test is p

Folks, Thanks for all the info and suggestions but let me add a bit more to the pot. Our products work in a harsh environment and are classed as safety critical. Customer returns are our biggest concern, we don't get very many and feeling here seem

We have encountered what appears to be mask discoloration after wave soldering. The areas of concern coincide with the areas that were exposed selectively by fixtures during wave soldering, dominated by one date code of PCB with a slightly different
