Let me use "Doug's line"



It depends on your definition.  What is a Hi-Rel board.   The

telecommunication companies have been using R0L0 and RoL1 RMA type

("Leave Behind") fluxes for a very long time on products that require

25+ years of reliability.  Even in the telecommunications wireless world

with frequencies up to a couple of GHz these fluxes are used without

cleaning.  Now if you tell me that you need to clean Hi-Frequency boards

otherwise you'll have inductive crosstalk then I'd believe that but it

would depend heavily on your definition of "Hi-Frequency".

George

Agreed.



I took a class at UCLA with Bob Hanson.  He stated that Hi-Rel boards

need to be clean but the best way is to use RMA, then next-best is WSP

(Water Soluble Paste) then last is NC (No Clean).



But they do have to be clean.



If the Hi-Rel boards aren't clean, then they cause inductive crosstalk.

No it isn't. High speed stuff needs to be clean of any residues.

But...but...RMA is required on high-speed stuff!

Subject: Re: [TN] ROL1 RUMOR



I heard from both our Kester and Alpha reps that there was a consensus

to drop RMA flux materials due to the fact that so few companies use

this formulation anymore. The ROL0 and ROL1 fluxes are more difficult to

clean, solvents are required and are expensive, water soluble fluxes are

much easier to completely remove, and at the same time all of the

commercial side of the industry has typically gone to no-clean flux

formulations. So some of the solder paste, flux, and wire vendors are

taking a long hard look at continuing to make these products to a

dwindling customer base.

Subject: [TN] ROL1 RUMOR



Heard a rumor from one of my colleagues that ROL1 solder flux would no

longer be manufactured.



I find this extremely hard to believe. Has anyone heard this rumor?



Just curious.



Thanks.
