The Best Way to Clean Water-Soluble Fluxes
Jul 20, 1999 | Rick Roney
One logical approach to eliminating chloroflurocarbons is to use water-soluble solder pastes. For years, electronic assembly houses have used aqueous cleaning for removing the water-soluble fluxes of the wave soldering operation. In fact, aqueous cleaningof assemblies bas been studied and characterized extensively. Obviously, a "drop-in" solder paste that could be cleaned in the same aqueous cleaner would eliminate many of the headaches associated with qualifymg an entirely new cleaning process......
