hi,

we clean assemblies in an in-line aqueous cleaner also using a saponifier.  these assemblies have a large no. of very small sockets on them and are soldered using an aqueous flux.  intuitively, i thought it would be a problem.  in fact, it hasn't been over the past five years or so.

Subject: [TN] Cleaning of assemblies after hand soldering


TechNetters,

Is it possible to clean assemblies containing socketed components in an
aqueous cleaner?  We have an in-line cleaner with 2% saponifier for
cleaning after surface mount reflow (water-soluble paste) and after wave
solder (water-soluble flux).

My concern is with assemblies that have had components reworked with
water-soluble flux after socketed parts have been installed.  The cleaning
procedure in IPC-7721, 2.2, recommends use of an automated cleaner, and
provides instructions on hand-cleaning.

Many thanks for any comments.

Lou Hart
