About the PCB gold finger contamination.

Electronics Forum | Wed Sep 18 22:10:48 EDT 2002 | Joe Wong

I'm working China ,in my working factory is a electronic OEM factory and got COB and SMT. But recently, COB got a big problem because the PCB gold finger got a contamination, that make us got a most defect product. So anyone can answer me how to clea

IONIC CLEANLINESS SPEC FOR BARE PWBs

Electronics Forum | Tue May 18 22:31:05 EDT 2004 | davef

Ionic cleanliness is pretty much meaningless, when discussing nc flux residues. If you do the good solder routine and measure the boards, you'll be in the out-house, because the water in your resistivity of solvent extract tester will turn the res o

Ekra E5 cleaner dispenser problem

I'm not sure what you mean by "standard auto valve stem". Ours use EFD pumps to dispense fluid. I think there used to be a sort of a drip system that attempted to wet the entire length of the paper all at once but have never seen one. Which system

White residue after cleaning with IPA

Electronics Forum | Mon Feb 03 11:17:55 EST 2003 | Randy Villeneuve

White residues are a common problem when cleaning no-clean fluxe residues. The white residue forms when the flux residue is partialy removed, etc. Alcohol should not be your only solution for cleaning. In general, solvents may attack some plastic par

Blocking stencil apertures (on purpose)

Electronics Forum | Mon Apr 28 09:53:10 EDT 2003 | kmorris

I've got a set of apertures on a stencil that I would like to "plug" or block off. In the past we've done this with Kapton tape, but since this location is close to a fine pitch component, the thickness of the tape prevents good gasketing at the fin

Board Cleaning

IPA is a poor choice for a cleaning solvent. * As you mentioned, the flash point of IPA (~12�C TCC). This is sufficiently low that all electrical equipment within a few feet of the bath should be flameproofed or intrinsically safe, if you don't want

Cleaning Water Soluble Flux under BGA's

Electronics Forum | Wed Mar 24 15:15:35 EST 2004 | davef

I think you can effectively clean under any other low standoff device. It's an issue of surface tension, pressure, and flow rate. DI water is the starting point, but the surface tension of straight DI water makes it difficult to get under low stand

Cleaning of stencil

Electronics Forum | Thu Apr 22 10:43:25 EDT 2004 | tigerlordgm

We had a great deal of trouble cleaning adhesive residue from stencils using an alcohol stencil washer. Same kind of thing, adhesive build-up in aperture corners. The solution we came up with was to convert our stencil washer to run Zestron ES200, a

BGA Via Tenting

Electronics Forum | Sun Jan 09 19:37:15 EST 2005 | Bob R.

I'm just thinking out loud here with no experience to back it up, but I could see where you're trapping air or solvent filled voids inside the via by tenting from both sides. When you go through a heat cycle like reflow or wave solder you could be e
