From QA Technology Company, Inc.
Reductions in the use of CFCs for board cleaning have led to increased use of no-clean fluxes. Properly tuned fluxing processes with modern low-solids fluxes result in boards that are readily testable. However, the real world often presents test engineers with no-clean boards coated with layers of contamination ranging in texture from hard and brittle to soft and gummy.
The following summarizes recommendations for probe selection to make reliable contact through contamination layers. This information is drawn from industry studies and from customer feedback about probes in production environments.
