Linda will be speaking on nozzle design and implementation for cleaning flux residues from high-density, low-profile component assemblies. Special considerations in designing a cleaning process to remove flux residues under �BGAs, leadless chip carriers, chip cap resistors, and fine-pitch components must be taken into account when ing the cleaning equipment to perform the task.
