Ok you folks, especially Doug and Brian,

You let this gentleman down and me as well. So much for my appeal but the
question is:


Techneters,

I would like to know if some of you have a suggested procedure for cleaning
of pins for In Circuit Testing, and if is possible to use a solvent, and
what kind of.

Is it possible that flux residues can go into spring machinery? If that
true, how can I clean them of flux residues and how often I must do it?

Regards,

Mario,

I answered knowing you all would come through:


I'm definitely not a cleaning or cleanliness expert. Doug Pauls and Big
Brian Ellis, who contribute greatly to the forum is/are.

I only know flux chemistries are varied. What it takes to clean or
neutralize one, is not right for another.

This is a big issue faced everyday by so many throughout industry, I'm
surprised more people aren't asking your vital qestion.

I would post again or contact someone more qualified as Doug Pauls
([log in to unmask]) and/or Brian Ellis ([log in to unmask]).

I too would be very interested in the chemistry, though it must be
"compatible" and capable of cleaning the indicated flux/chemistry in some
sort of optimized process whether batch or other.

Best regards,

Earl
