Fibres / threads inside PTHs | 2 May, 2000

I am finding transparent fibres , specks or needle shaped threads inside my via holes. I am not sure these are fibre glass / epoxy or flux. I do not find many on bare board. The flux used is NC Low residue and this assy is Single sided .

Presently, I am cleaning them off with Iso and Air Ionizing Gun.

Any ideas on what could be sources of this problem.

The first step in pinpointing the exact source of the fibers is to have them identified. Are they fiber glass, epoxy or flux? Or are they something else? I can help you with this if you want. Check out mfg-answers.com\ .

Hi Ashok,

Is there any rework process on those assembl./PWB ..if yes --what kind of tools are your operators using now ...brush? spudger? cloths (is it lint free?) ect.

I hope you are not talking about nodules in the hole barrel.

Regards Kc.
