Thanks to everyone who posted! I did get the boards clean and it worked well I used AIMTERGE 520A about 5% in HOT water.. I soaked for 10 minutes used a brush(handscrubber type)to loosen the residue. For the fine pitch I used a fine bristled small

aight... Ive read the SMT archives... Ive got issues,,, 25 boards WS boards with NC on them HOw do I clean them? Used Everkleen in Prewash and wash in a dishwasher , cleaned most of the NC flux off but I have residuals. especially on the fine pitch

We have been having problems with solder paste balls around fine pitch ICs and have decided that cleaning the boards in an ultra sonic cleaner may reomove these solder balls. However we are worried that the ultrasonic cleaning process may damage the

There are chemistries out there that will solublize some post-solder NC flux residues. I have had success with Zestron material Vigon A200 and Petroferm material Hydrex DX. Go to http://www.zestron.com and http://www.petroferm.com These are chemical

there are many reasons why FG and Nano are used and many papers written on them. Nano ssems to be the topic of interest right now. I agree it is mostly for printing fine and untra fine pitch. With that comes under stencil wiping to keep the stencil o

I'm not sure why anyone would pay extra for FG (fine grain) stencils. I've run studies comparing traditional YAG laser, fiber laser, and E-form stencils with regular stainless, FG, and nickel foils. YAG is the worse and should only be used for pret

Hi, We tried AIM no clean, and one other paste which I cannot remember the name offhand. We have been using Koki lately, and that's been the best. It seems to leave less residue behind in the stencil. Regards, Grant Petty Blackmagic Design

Really? Where does it say that? I have had the opposite experience and 3.2.2 from the IPC-7525 states for square or rectangular apertures - "Having a radiused corner for all apertures can promote stencil cleaning". It actually recommends circular ape

I have a problem on fine pitch SMT connector reflow. The board size is 18" x 12" with 8 layers FR4 material and emersion gold finishing. All the other components include 0603 on the board are reflow very well, except 20 mil pitch SMT connectors. The
