(3) Clean the soldering residue: After the reflow soldering is completed, clean the soldering residue on the surface of the PCB board in time to avoid affecting the service life and performance of the components.
- Cleaning
Cleaning is a crucial step in the double-sided PCB assembly process. It can effectively remove dirt and residues on the surface of the PCB board to ensure the quality and stability of the product. During the cleaning process, the following points should be noted:
- Select a suitable cleaning agent: Select a suitable cleaning agent according to the material and component requirements of the PCB board to ensure the cleaning effect and safety.
- Control the cleaning time and temperature: According to the characteristics of the cleaning agent and the requirements of the PCB board, set the appropriate cleaning time and temperature to ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the cleaning.
- Drying treatment: After cleaning, dry the PCB board to ensure the stability and safety of the product.
