This SMTA Professional Development Course will provide a thorough review of the need for cleaning,
contamination related failure mechanisms, and cleaning and cleanliness testing best practices.

Course subjects include:
• The history of cleaning circuit assemblies.
• The dawn of no-clean fluxes. And historical view of the use of no clean fluxes.
• Contamination sources.
• ECM failure mechanisms.
• Harsh environments and its effects on contamination.
• Internet of Things (IOT) and its effects on contamination.
• Conventional ECM mitigation techniques.
• What could go wrong by not cleaning.
• What could go wrong by cleaning / cleaning best practices.
• The relationship between reflow profiles and contamination.
• How clean is clean enough? An explanation of the new IPC cleanliness testing standard (J-STD 001H).
• ROSE Testing for process monitoring.
• How to successfully clean under low standoff components. The mechanics of cleaning.
• Factors to consider when selecting a cleaning process.
• Cleaning chemical selection best practices.
• How to calculate throughput.
• How to calculate the cost of cleaning.
• Common mistakes made when cleaning circuit assemblies.
• Environmental best practices, ensuring one doesn’t solve one problem at the expense of another.
