Cleaning challenges have increased with the growing complexity of electronics assemblies: miniaturization, alloys, board finishes, lower component gaps and improved flux designs. The need to remove ionizable contaminants is critical to production yields and reliability.
The workshop will provide considerations for integrating the cleaning agent and equipment — for maximum performance and minimum variation in the manufacturing process such as:
• Lead-free/miniaturization cleaning influences
• Understanding soil properties
• Matching the cleaning agent to the soil and process
• Materials compatibility issues
• Evaluating parameters ― pressure, flow temperature and throughput equipment
• Implementing process controls
• Successful system integration
