Rework best practices for no-clean flux

Rework introduces fresh flux and potential residues that differ from bulk process residues. Control rework with defined procedures and targeted cleaning.

Rework residue cleaning best practices

Use localized cleaning after rework:

  • solvent micro-swabs for spot cleaning,

  • heated solvent pen to dissolve and remove new residues,

  • subsequent ionic verification on reworked area.

Document every rework and its cleaning steps to maintain traceability.
