Conversion from solvent rinsable fluxes to aqueous rinsable fluxes for hot oil solder leveling

Technical Report · Sun Mar 01 04:00:00 EST 1992

OSTI ID:5709181

A water rinsable flux was evaluated for hot oil solder leveling of printed wiring boards. The previously used rosin-activated flux required a solvent containing a chlorinated hydrocarbon for removing the flux residues after soldering. The water rinsable flux requires hot water or a solution of hot detergent for removing flux residues after smoldering. The water rinsable flux produced an acceptable soldered surface. Flux residues were removed by either hot water (120{degrees}F) or a solution of hot detergent (120{degrees}F).
