What happens when cleaning no-clean flux with normal tap water?
We are currently using a no-clean process for our SMT board assembly. However, on occasion, our thru-hole assembler will use a solder with a water soluble flux to assemble the thru-hole portion of the board.
The assembler will then attempt to clean the board using ordinary tap water using a brush, allowing the water to run over the board. The assembler then dries the board with compressed air.
