Jason,
Am I missing something? If you are fluxing with a water soluble, aren't you violating
your customer's desire to use a no clean. I would assume that your customer is
concerned about ionic residue since they a specing a no clean. I would be more
concerned with the approach you are using than I would with just soldering with the
water soluble. Wouldn't a full solder cycle be less likely to leave ionic
contaminates? I guess that is a question for a flux guru.
I have only played with OSPs only a little and I don't run nitrogen in any soldering
operations. The first thing I didn't like about them was the poor spread of the solder
on the first pass. I could put a spot of paste on a pad and it would not wet much past
the area it was deposited at. I also thought the wetting angles, though acceptable,
were greater than I am used to seeing.
I believe nitrogen is necessary in all soldering operations in order to be successful
with an OSP. Anyone - please correct me if I am wrong here.
