In the continuous application of reflow soldering and wave soldering in SMT (Surface Mount Technology), fixtures often accumulate a considerable amount of flux residues and rosin. This affects their subsequent use. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly clean these residues efficiently. Below are some insights and recommendations on the cleaning and maintenance of SMT reflow soldering fixtures:
Correct Application and Maintenance of SMT Reflow Soldering Fixtures:
- Shock-resistant transportation: Prevent damage to fixtures during internal transportation in the production workshop by using shock-resistant carts.
- Vertical placement: Prevent excessive stacking of fixtures to avoid deformation of fixtures in the middle and lower layers. It is recommended to use shelf placement.
- Avoid alcohol: Refrain from using alcohol or alcohol-containing cleaning agents to clean fixtures. Instead, use alkaline cleaning agents.
- Avoid strong acids and alkalis: Prolong the lifespan of fixtures by avoiding contact with strong acids and alkalis. Neutral fluxes are recommended.
- Application of reflow soldering fixtures can save manpower and time after soldering.
- Simplify the production process to improve efficiency.
- Reduce board deformation caused by high temperatures during reflow soldering.
- Suitable for circuit boards with SMD components on DIP solder joints.
- Use materials such as synthetic stone imported from Germany, aluminum alloy, fiberboard, imported bakelite, or materials specified by customers.
- Excellent performance at high temperatures, outstanding dimensional stability, good antistatic properties, and long service life.
The above are all the contents regarding the cleaning and maintenance of SMT reflow soldering fixtures. For a deeper understanding of this topic, you can consult Silman Tech’s cleaning machine online customer service.
