IPA and DI water are both very common and effective methods of cleaning PCBAs. http://www.zestron.com/sa/cleaning-applications/smt-electronic-cleaning/pcba-cleaning/aqueous-cleaning.html http://blog.gotopac.com/2010/11/18/ipa-as-a-universal-cleaner

Hi, There are "Fluxbuster" or "Rotator" pins on the market - we had to use them a few years ago on a flexy board (with OSP). There is some info from one source at the following link: http://www.isiconnectors.com/mfrs/idi/idipr.htm#Rotator We got

Hi Pyramus you should`t have a major problem after you wash the board as my crew also run into this problem a few month ago ,, I wash them after but I suggestto run one first it depent who is the paste from I think.

Yes, if not done correctly, you will have a mess on your hands and probably do more harm than good. It can be done, though and has gotten much more common and easier to do. If you are ordering cleaning chemicals, your supplier can guide you through

The main cause of voids is your flux out-gassing during reflow. Try a little "knee" or slight soak in your thermal profile to dry out the volatiles a bit. Typical soak ranges from 130 deg. C to 170 deg. C for around 30-90 seconds.

what is your peak temp.. if you try to go too high say 225-230 deg C there is a fair chance of seeing voids.. depending on your ball size and paste volume you can get a good collapse at temps below 225deg C...

try Alpha OM5100 this is a noclean paste that we use and have done the same thing you are now, reflowing pbfree with pb paste, we run to max temp of 230C with this paste and use a straight ramp with no soak profile is about 4 mins long from ambiant

I have always understood that on boards (or circuits) operating over 900 MHz, No Clean fluxes are to be avoided. Apparently the residues left behind, while non-conductive and non-corrosive, will change impedence of the circuit. It may be a possibil

ISSG, I didn't see you mention anything with respect to profiling. Should we assume that you've already ruled out any thermal issues? Based on the proximity of your problems to a big honkin' connector that's where I'd have looked first. But then a
