Hi, is there a reason why washing "no-clean" flux residue off of boards with 1(or 2)-ethoxy-propanol is not a widespread practice? This chemical is more commonly known as Henkel/Loctite/Multicore SC01. I've long known, as I'm sure most people do, t

Is the frame turning white or is it the flux residue? What kind of flux, WS or NC?

*the other components are 0402 and SOIC 16, the solderability were good. *the protection on the terminations of microleadframe package is Cu(copper),somebody call that leadless leadframe package(LLP). *the time above 210 deg C is about 10 sec. *I us

Copper teminations with no solderability protection on your LLP. Hmmm seems unusual, but it could be that the flux in your solder paste is not active enough to remove the corrosion on the Cu leads. OMG Microbond solder paste develops white residue

Hello We are using a No-Clean process for a lot of boards that we do, but the customer needs the flux removed off the bottom side of the board and there is to many leaded components that can not go through a water wash, so is what we do is clean th

We use a small DI water generator feeding a diaphram type pressure tank going to a standard dishwasher. We have some filters in-line also to prevent white residue on no-clean boards. I cant think of a good reason to buy a $5,000 board cleaner rather

Hi, I have used these type systems in the past and had trouble with white residue and flux removal under low standoff components. All cleaning systems need DI water and this requirement adds another layer of system cost if you don't have DI availabl

Never use a water softener for defluxing. They add sodium to the water which is bad for boards. The white residue may be flux. If that's the case, either the dishwasher is not powerful enough or the wash water is not hot enough. Another possibili

I had a similar problem a long time ago. I eventually traced the problem to undercured solder resist. The flux was reacting with what was left of the uncured resist, leaving a white residue. We could not even hand scrub this off. The solution was to
