No need to clean unless the sticky residue is an issue for you. If you are working with RF, it could be an issue. You may have probe contact problems as well with ICT and FT fixtures. We use a low residue flux for our wave solder machines (Kester

IPC-A-610E "Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies" addresses this specific issue as well as most others. This issue would be to what class (1, 2, or 3) your assemblies would be governed by.

My pallet is 13mm high(because of electrolytics)and I have a issues with TH parts. Removing them will reduce my pallet height significantly and will fix my current issues.

Yes, no wetting on the several leads, to verify is same location of the leads? Looks PCB/IC leads wetting issue, a process contaminated or raw material issue. A cross experiments to verify the potential cause is needed.

We are in the process of validating Silicon 1C55 (thermal cure) conformal coating over Alpha LR725 solder paste. I am looking for anyone who may be using this process, or has been exposed to someone who is doing this process. Our concern is with the

With the Pb-Free BGA on there, you'll want to use pb-free solder paste for assembly. The logical course of action would be to use Pb-free solder paste for the entire assembly, and to reflow at the temperatures necessary for the BGA and Pb-free paste

We have successfully put .016" vias in .030" pads. There is no issue with .030" solder balls, since the actual volume of the .002" via in pad is small compared to the ball+solder paste volume. We did notice random bubbles where, apparently, the sol

| | Hey all! | | The wave solder warrior is back. I have found a flux which leave almost no residue (the least yet), but because of its super low solids content I absolutely cannot get topside fillets. The multi-layer, two sided board is on a

This is the dilema during this transition period. Here is a tip: If you see typcial solder joints on a lead free process, but only on one component type....it probably has a significant quantity of lead in it (ex. Sn90/Pb10...and so on) If using T

Hello all, I am having an issue with some boards on our Wave Solder. It is a Pb free wave and These particular boards are exibiting A LOT of what I call solder bubbles in the larger than usual vias and un-used thru holes. Settings: 4 inch/min 144c to
