We are about to use BGAs on our equipment. We clean all products prior to confomally coating them - to keep moisture off the IC legs. Will this be a problem with BGAs. Will we need to get the coating underneath the BGA or will the pitch on the balls

Hi, Thanks for the info. How clean can wave soldering get? We are looking at a carrier that masks off most of the board when we run it through the wave, so hopefully this works. Regards, Grant Blackmagic Design

Try Avantec Topklean EL-60, can clean off solder paste or uncured glue, is hydrocarbon based cleaner - but with high flash point. Will evapourate faster than water based solutions, not as fast as IPA , but does much better job.
