Yikes!! In-line cleaning, to clean cosmetic and benign residues (from a NO-CLEAN) flux... You sure you can't switch fluxes? Another variable with residues is the solder mask. Depending on mask type (glossy, matte, semi-gloss, or semi-matte), will

Grant, Newer lead-free fluxes have 6%-10% solids content - more activator, therefore leave more "visible" residues. Old technology tin-lead fluxes got down to as low as around the 4%-6% range (I'm going off memory, so me might be wrong)... You'll

GR@ICS: Are you drag soldering or point-to-point soldering? Keep in mind. Drag soldering mimics wave soldering. Molten solder is contacting and dragging across the solder mask. Keep in mind, too, that "semi-matt" or "semi-gloss" will also tend to

Emil, Part of the problem it sounded like is that the color was not clearly defined as light or dark in Matte or gloss. Your example of car paint would have the same issue if you just ask them to paint your car green. What color of green would y

Regarding Lead Free component finishes, vendors are zeroing in on matte tin plating as the finish of choice. What test are performed, to determine if a finish is "matte" type (vs. non-matte)?

Bright vs matte tin is fairly easy, but there's a s whole bunch of alternatives, beyond those two choices. So, no, not that we know.

Just feel relieved that we didn't go to the matt on the use of "leaching" rather than "dissolution". And you thought this was easy, eh?

Hi Matt, Please help us understand what you are trying to do with the dual monitors. If my memory serves me correctly the PC on the P-N-P is mostly used as data storage. The vision system including component cameras, fiducial cameras and bottom visio

shawn, define what you mean by solder ball's scattered across the board? I'd tend to agree with the thoughts of too much paste on chip's but normally your ball's would be mainly around these devices although som can move around depending on the surf

Hi Randy, From a bare board manufacturers stand point, scoring is probably faster and easier but has limitations. If your boards are square or rectangle scoring will work fine. Once assembled the scored grooves can be sliced apart using what is some
