Centrifugal Cleaning—A New Technology for Cleaning Printed Circuit Boards and Hybrid Circuits

Abstract

Cleaning or defluxing of populated printed circuit boards has become a very difficult problem as component stand‐off clearances have become smaller, line spacings tighter, and solvents limited because of the CFC/ozone issue. This paper discusses the new technology of Centrifugal cleaning where ACCEL Energy™ is harnessed inside an enclosed chamber to provide significant cleaning benefits. Among these benefits are: superior washing, effective rinsing, superior drying, reduced solvent consumption by orders of magnitude, small footprint, and compatibility with H2O, saponifiers, chlorocarbons, fluorocarbons and terpenes.
