Question:
Which cleaning method and cleaning solution should I use after automatic soldering?
Answer:
Cleaning can be done either by boiling or immersion for the plastic-sealed type only.
Select chlorine, water or alcohol as the cleaning solution.
Explanation:
Through-hole type
Refer to the table below to select a cleaning method and cleaning solution.
Contact us before using other cleaning solution. Do not use Freon TMC, thinner or gasoline for any relay.
Note that using water-based or alcohol-based cleaning agent may be less effective in cleaning between relay and PCB.
As a countermeasure, there are models with higher standoffs.
Efforts are underway worldwide to eliminate the use of CFC-113 (commonly known as CFC) and 1.1.1 trichloroethane.
We ask for your cooperation eliminating use of these.
Surface-mount type
- Use an alcohol- or water-based cleaning agent when cleaning after reflow soldering. The cleaning temperature should be 40°C or less.
- To clean the entire unit, immersion or cleaning by boiling is recommended. Do not use ultrasonic cleaning. It may cause disconnection of the coil or slight welding of the contact.
