The sulphur outgassing from these rubber bands was >enough to contaminate every board... Well, if every rubber band is a threat then sulphur contamination must be a common problem. Are sulphur test kits available?

The solder joint appeared dull and there is dewetting on the PCB after Reflow. The leads of IC we used appeared dull grey before soldering. Dose anyone happen to know if there is a standard to verify the IC contamination and how to deal with the con

It's the same like asking wether you get a gold-contaminated solder pot when soldering ENIG boards. As long as the replenishment of dross is large compared to the intake of contaminant, the contamination level will stay within acceptable levels.

I would to ask on what do you call on the color green contamination found on the soldered units. Whe i soldered some units after few days there was a color green on the wires. what do you call on this contamination?

Have you checked the parts for contamination? Are the voids out of spec? IPC allows some voiding, especially with lead free solder. Component contamination can cause this to repeat, as well. Try pre-tinning the component in question, and see if s

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.

We use a NC Flux in the wave solder and after aAcelerated Life Test cicle we found contamination white residues paths between some solder points. Does somebody know a possible cause for this contamination.

Hello We are currently cleaning stencils from both process (PbSn and lead free) in the same cleaning machine. A customer is concerned about cross contamination of lead between stencils. Is there any test kit or tool that you can suggest to test the

Hi We are mounting an microphone device (SMT package) onto a PCB which has an ENIG finish and, observed some contamination on the underside of the device, post reflow. The SEM analysis shows that the contamination has a high level of Carbon. Where c

J-STD-006 lists maximum contamination levels for most solder alloys. This is the basis for purchasing solder. The SOLDER BATH contamination levels in J-STD-001 are based on decades of experience. But these contamination thresholds of various metals
