The three basic methods you can use to restore solderability on components are: * Highly active fluxes in a retinning operation. * Surface stripping chemistry and then a standard retinning operation. * Electrochemical conversion chemistry and then a

We are trying to solder a Surface mount relay having lead free finish on the leads. The leads are not getting soldered down during the reflow. The leads also look oxidized (failed our solderability test) but we don't have an option but to use these r

Baking of the component helps it depends on the type of contamination and how much contamination. It sounds like your purchasing is buying from brokers.

I have seen an increase in components with contaminated leads, mostly SMT parts. They give us solder wetting problems and insufficient solder joints. Our practice is to not use them and return them to the manufacturer. Are these parts solderable?

Have you tried switching to a more aggressive flux, like a water soluble, or is that not a possibility?

We (Industrial Electronics Service Depot) have been using a dishwasher with success on dirty/contaminated boards but without BGAs. Now we have a CPU board with couple of BGAs on it and no experience/expertise.. Is the washing it and the compressed

the board in question is from Foba Laser Engraver, it's a surface contamination coming from.. everywhere, a lot of moving parts that are lubricated. I'm now studding chemicals that we may use for our kind of rework & cleaning. We may think of modifyi
