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

1. What is the best way to remove polyurethane conformal coating from selected areas? Your conformal coat material supplier is best equipped to tell you how to remove the coating. Polyurethane conformal coating is not easy to remove. Without in-pu

| We recently made the switch to no-clean and the wurface mount is turning out beautifully. However, the wave solder process continues to put up a fight; we are getting a white residue on the surface of the PCB. The residue is not localized to

| At this moment in time we are using water soluble solder paste on our PCBs these are cleaned using water only, agitated with ultrasonics. After drying a white/grey residue is left around solder joints. Reflow profile is fine and a reliable wash pro

Hi Boys and Girls, I've been given the "task" to turn off the nitrogen in our reflow ovens. I am using the BTU, TRS series ovens, each with eight zones. Also, I have a couple of new BT Paragon ovens with 10 zones. We currently are running Qualite

Hi, Can anyone give me a bit of an advise or tip on how to reduce the flux residues on the board when it comes out of the wavesolder machine. The Vitronics Soltec 6622CC that we are using have been producing boards like this for years and people her

The letter below was dated December 13, 2006 from Kester's Senior Market Development Engineer. I guess since then they have moved production back to Mexico. We no longer use EM907 as our primary Pb-free paste so I haven't seen any containers in a w

Really, if you start out from the beginning planning to clean the boards, then DON'T use the no-clean flux! The way that stuff is made, it leaves a hard, low-solubility residue that takes a LOT of effort to get clean. If you plan to clean, use a wa

Dendritic growth is always a result of three combined factors: Conductive/corrosive residues Electrical current Moisture A wave solder process normally applies a higher volume of flux than a printed process. Flux however is not the only source. F
