your comments will be appreciated, please; IC tests have been performed on two kind of Raw PCBs (HASL) samples by adopting three different methods : First Sample (supllier A) - Omegameter 600 SMT, solvent=40�C: extratcing time 10 min result = 0.2

Yes, the OmegaMeter and IonoGraph are test equipment to measure ionic contamination. Either of those units should enable you to sort your inventory boards. for more info about this equipment, go to: www.cooksonee.com/products/scs/CoatingSystems/Ionic

Never heard of flux residues forming a lense. The first thing that comes mind when thinking about your 'fog test' is: Ionic Contamination While this seems pretty far afield from your interest in optical effects, I'll continue briefly. A reverse

| I am looking for advice or information from anyone about the possible reliability problems associated with epoxy on solder pads of discrete devices. Will the epoxy expand and lift over time, Will there be adverse reaction between the solder and the

We have our waste water tested periodicially by a local lab to ensure that we are in compliance with local discharge regulations and as part of ISO14001 approval. This analysis includes levels of metals as well as organics, but it will tell you littl

Hi Patrick, With all due respect, it is easy to quantify zero. You made a claim that your flux produces ZERO residue. There are several industry-standards (IPC and Military) of determining the cleanliness of post-reflowed circuit assemblies. Th

Hi guys, I really am at a loss to understand this one. It would appear that there may be some reaction between the flux and the resist? Or maybe you have an OSP on the board that is reacting during soldering? As a fast fix, maybe you should try a

First, most �thermal shock� recipes are not a reliability test. There is no relationship between the failures seem in these tests and in-use application. These tests show you the failures in these tests. That�s it!!! Second, accelerated life test

Military and most commercial standards requires post-soldered boards to measure less than 10 �g/in of NaCl (14 when using an Omegameter, 20 on a Ionagraph, and 37 on a Zero-Ion). As Dave stated, 6.5 �g/in of NaCl is called out in Mil-P-55110 for ba

When no-clean flux and no-clean soldering first came out in the late 80's / early 90's, there were lots of White Papers written about conformal coating adhesion and no-clean flux. I'm pretty sure all CC's will adhere to today's chemistries. To be o
