The hand assembled part is soldered in? If so, the white residue may be from the operator using some added wave solder flux to get better wetting when hand soldering.

Hey all! The wave solder warrior is back. I have found a flux which leave almost no residue (the least yet), but because of its super low solids content I absolutely cannot get topside fillets. The multi-layer, two sided board is on a pallet w

Danny, I'm hoping to hear more about this, too. I've seen it mentioned in a couple of other posts, but so far Sara G. (Foresite Inc.) is the only regular SMTNet poster that's actually seen this stuff. Really curious about residues, and what kind of f

Murad: Your customer is smart to be concerned about the affect of changing production processes on product reliability. Your Company is smart to inform customers and keep them in the loop about these changes. In developing your demonstration of th

The heat from a soldering iron will push raw flux across the surface of the board and into surprising places. It's bad practice to squirt liquid low residue flux on the board during rework, because the portion of the flux that does not get heated pr

Nichrome, manganin, phosphor bronze etc are easy to solder ... the hard part is removing the corrosion * Manganin: 86% copper, 12% manganese, 2% nickel. Often, it's used in making cryogenic measurements, due to its low heat loss. * Select a flux for

Donnie is correct. "NO-Clean" doesn't translate to "no-residue!"..... who's giving you hassle about this - your ICT guys??!! Residue remaining on your PCB substrate is a function of many different things - flux deposition, solder mask (glossy means

It is true that the use of saponifiers (and other water soluble additives) will lower the surface tension and aid in under component penetration. It is also true, however, that other specific design features within a batch machine can also aid in un
