Hi Todd, I don't know exactly what you are looking for, but some excellent starting points for information about board cleaning are: http://www.residues.com/libraries1.htm http://www.protonique.com/unepstoc http://www.precisioncleaningweb.com With the search-engine on http://www.smtinfo.net/smtlinks.html (that's my own webpage) you should be able to find some more URL's of interest. Hope this helps, Daan Terstegge SMT Centre Thales Communications Unclassified mail Personal Website: http://www.smtinfo.net >>> "Schwarzkopf, Todd" <[log in to unmask]> 10/30 8:28 pm >>> We have some boards that are coming from the assembly house that are failing test. We suspect that there is residue from the flux still on the board. I believe my assembly house uses a cleanable no-clean solder. These are high voltage boards. I am very ignorant in this area and this is all of the information my boss is telling me. These boards used to be built in house and worked. They started failing after outsourcing our assemblies. Can someone give me some information and or links so I can educate myself on this subject. My boss wants me to come up with a cleaning specification for our printed circuit assemblies. I do not even know enough to ask questions. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Todd Schwarzkopf, C.I.D. PCB Designer PerkinElmer Instruments 801 S.
