Chunks, I used to work in power electronics, and we had this design engineer who used to "blow moisture" on the high-impedance circuit and test for cleanliness. We were water washing in a OA-Water Soluble environment. He was convinced that there w

Hi, We have a issue with current leakage between pins on an SSOP 28 in a low frequency RF application and there is a suspicion that it is being caused by something in the flux residue. We have had the bad boards analyzed and a 'high' Chloride level w

Good solvent wipe will normally show some discoloration of the same colour as resist, but not scientific enough as you cant gauge the amount coming off, ideally none. But is an indicator of the issue. I have been meaning to do a swab with an indicato

Hi Pavel, We regularly use over printing on a multitude of problem parts including fine pitch QFP's. In an Automotive Environment the only thing you can change without a mountain of paperwork is the stencil. best way to work out how much you can get

Sure looks like flux residue to me and I don't know how your bare boards could be causing that unless there's something on them when you get them, and that you would notice. I'd still be looking at my own system, blowers and exhaust lines. Do any of

to summarize - 3 components are placed on a single module x 8 on pcb - 2 anodes & 1 cathode are infected (so no component for us) - the problem does not look like wetting problem as the component and land pad is wetted, but the paste is not complete

What type of contamination is it? Flux residue or something else? If you are having contamination issues, you have a problem with your process. Simply washing the boards or using a roller may fix the problem, but you are treating the symptom, not

Thanks guys, But for the cleaning process we already have a chemical product to clean flux residues and other contaminant. But it seems that we can't rinse properly under low stand-off components and we find trace of our chemical under some ceramic c

@ Westshoredesign: Go take the top covers off your XPM's. Tell me if you see flux residue on the blower motors and the surrounding area. If you see this, grab ahold of the blower motor and rock it back and fourth. It is moves, the seals are melted o
