Ioan,
In addition to the other suggestions given so far, do not EVER EVER EVER 
believe the salesman when they tell you that water soluble flux can be 
cleaned using water alone.  It can't.  And if they tell you that tap water 
cleaning works fine, throw them out the door.

Most of the cleaning chemical vendors, such as Kyzen, Petroferm, Zestron, 
can give you good data on what materials work best to ensure cleaning 
under low standoff parts.

[TN] WS solder paste






Dear Technos,

 

After having worked for years with no-clean pastes, I need now to
evaluate water soluble. Concerning both SnPb and lead-free, what would
be your short list to start qualifications?

 

We are a CEM, so the paste needs to be very versatile, so it can give
the best performance (compromise) for inconsistent designs. In this
world we need to print everyday a wide range of designs like 20mil fine
pitch pads with widths from 9 to 15 mils, 0603s with pad gaps between 20
and 35 mils, etc., so I guess most of you understand what I mean by
versatile ;-)

 

I assume off-line answers would be appropriate, so please do not
hesitate...

 

Thank you,

 

Ioan
