The SMTA Oregon chapter presents "Why Are We Cleaning No-Clean Flux". Presented by Aqueous Technologies’ Founder and CEO, Mike Konrad, Tuesday, May 3 beginning at 4:00 PM.
Abstract:
It seems like an oxymoron. Cleaning no-clean flux? Really?… Really... While cleaning no-clean flux may seem redundant, there are many reasons so many assemblers are now cleaning no-clean. When no-clean flux was first introduced in the late 1980's, so many things were different. The residue tolerance of circuit assemblies is substantially less today than it was when the concept of using a no-clean flux was first introduced. This presentation will present the reasons assemblers are now cleaning their assemblies, especially those reflowed with no-clean flux. Contamination-related failure mechanisms will be reviewed and residue tolerance assessment considerations will be discussed.
