Hello Chris, there was a paper published by IPC on the no clean process. From all the improvements in materials over the past few years, I don't believe you will need to upgrade your reflow equipment for Nitrogen usage. You will have to evaluate the particular solder paste however to make sure they work in your oven with your products. Good luck, Leo Lambert -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Bartkowaik Christine Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 3:14 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] No-Clean Solder Paste Does anyone have a list of the Pro's and Con's of a No-Clean Process? If I move to No-Clean do I need to upgrade my Oven with Nitrogen?
