Solder Mask and Low Standoff Component Cleaning – A Connection?

Today, printed circuit boards used within electronic assemblies for high reliability applications are typically subjected to cleaning or defluxing processes. As assembly complexity has incre .. read more

Materials Compatibility and Aging for Flux and Cleaner Combinations

A materials study of high reliability electronics cleaning is presented here. In Phase 1,mixed type substrates underwent a condensed contaminants application to view a worst-case scenario for .. read more

Precision Cleaning in 21st Century: New Solvent with Low Global Warming Potential

As we progress in the 21st century,electronics manufacturing will need more and more precision. Parts will get more complex since more components have to be assembled in smaller spaces. Circuit .. read more

Must Defluxers Follow SCAQMD Rules Throughout the U.S.? Productive Progress

What We Achieved: Current Proposed OTC Model Rule Modifications • Vapor degreasing exempted from 25 g/L limit – NESHAP-like equipment & controls • 150 g/L VOC maximum for electronics assemblies .. read more

Defluxing for New Assembly Requirements

Consider defluxing at the design stage. This involves determining how product design may impact the assembly process. It also involves selecting the most effective,rugged defluxing option relat .. read more

Innovations using Ethyl Nonafluorobutyl Ether Provide Superior Solvent Properties for Defluxing No-Clean and Microelectronic Assemblies

The evaluation of a new solvent blend to clean printed wire boards is reported. Ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether (HFE- 7200) provides the fluid dynamics to build engineered cleaning fluids that exhi .. read more
