ZESTRON, the worldwide leading provider of high precision cleaning products, services and training solutions is pleased to announce that Axel Vargas, Application Engineer, ZESTRON America, is a featured presenter at the 2012 SMTA Guadalajara Tech Forum. Mr. Vargas will present “DI-water vs. Chemistry: Comparative Cleaning Study to Showcase the Effective Removal of OA Flux Residues” on November 14th.
There are several factors that are currently limiting the effectiveness of a DI-water cleaning process. These factors include increased PCB densities, miniature components and reduced standoff heights. This in turn results in the long term reliability of assemblies being compromised. Mr. Vargas will discuss these challenges and offer a process solution alternative that will produce the cleanliness level required.
Mr. Vargas, A.S.Inst.Eng., is an active member of the Surface Mount Technology Association as well as the IPC. He has contributed extensively to comprehensive lead-free and eutectic screening studies, conducted at ZESTRON’s Technical and Analytical Centers.
