Water-Soluble or No-Clean Solder?

Postby PCorp01 » Mon Feb 25, 2019 4:43 pm

Hi Everybody,

First time soldering these, does anybody know if water-soluble (washable) solder could be used or is it required that we use No-clean solder?

Thanks!

We have been using denatured alcohol in a ultrasonic cleaner for over 12 years with no issues on any boards we make.
Using both leaded and lead free solder.

Thanks, I really appreciate the response! I like to use water-soluble solder over No-clean, so will go with that.

Thanks again!
