PCBA cleaning is a process conducted after the assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBA) to remove contaminants such as solder residue, flux residue, and dust generated during the soldering process.
PCBA cleaning equipment typically consists of several main components:
- Cleaning basket: A container used to hold PCBA for cleaning, usually cleaned by spraying.
- Cleaning agent supply system: Provides cleaning agents and sprays them onto PCBA for cleaning.
- Water rinsing system: Used for rinsing off the cleaning agent and removing residual detergent.
- Drying system: Removes moisture from PCBA, usually by heating and blowing.
- Control system: Controls the operation of the cleaning equipment and parameter settings.
When choosing PCBA cleaning equipment, several factors need to be considered:
- Cleaning effectiveness: The cleaning effectiveness of the equipment should meet the cleaning requirements of the product and effectively remove solder residues and impurities.
- Cleaning method: Choose a suitable cleaning method, such as spray cleaning, based on the characteristics and cleaning requirements of the product.
- Cleaning agent selection: Select appropriate cleaning agents based on the materials of the PCBA and cleaning requirements to ensure cleaning effectiveness and material safety.
- Stability and reliability of the equipment: The equipment should have stable performance and reliable operation to ensure long-term stable operation.
It should be noted that when using PCBA cleaning equipment, relevant operating specifications and safety requirements should be followed to ensure the safety of operators and protect the environment from contamination by harmful substances.
