Successful cleaning of electronic circuit board assemblies can be achieved by a variety of techniques. These include: • Aqueous wash • Semi-aqueous wash • Solvent & chemical wash • Plasma cleaning Each of these methods can effectively remove contamination. However,

Ten reasons to use Molecular Vapor Deposition (MVD) in protecting electronic circuit boards
Molecular Vapor Deposition (MVD) is a new coating from Thin Film Partners that uses a hybrid coating process of alternating layers of ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) and CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) films combined with a hydrophobic final top coat. The
Why is cleaning “no clean” flux residues difficult and how to get it right?
No clean flux residues on printed circuit boards are not designed to be cleaned easily. Fact. Therefore, cleaning the residues left behind by a no clean flux process is one of the most difficult tasks when considering cleaning. How do
The ABCs of plasma cleaning for improving surface adhesion and processing
The ABCs of plasma cleaning for improving surface adhesion and processing Plasma cleaning is a process that is gaining more popularity in thin film applications due its highly effective performance on cleaning and modifying surfaces. What is Plasma? Plasma is
What is Plasma cleaning?
Plasma cleaning is a process that is gaining more popularity in thin film applications due its highly effective performance on cleaning and modifying surfaces. What is Plasma? Plasma is an energy-rich gas state that can be used to modify the
Why cleaning “no clean” flux residues from a circuit board assembly can be difficult and how to get it right
Author: Dr Lee Hitchens So why is no clean flux so difficult to clean? Cleaning no clean flux residues is one of the most complex processes when considering cleaning. No clean fluxes are by definition harder to clean than conventional
