11.1 Cleaning the board
The finished board must be thoroughly cleaned before components are
mounted. This can be done manually or in a board brushing machine.
Place the board on a flat surface to clean it by hand.
Brush the board with a wet board cleaner (such as the LPKF PAD board
cleaner) in the preferred direction of the conductor paths. The point of
brushing is, firstly, to remove the layer of oxidation, and, secondly, to
remove any burrs resulting from the use of a blunt tool.
After brushing, the board must be clean of any metal particles. From now
on, the board should only be held by its edges or with gloves.
It is best to rinse off the board under running hot water to remove any
brushings from the isolation channels.Now dry the board with an air
drier. After drying the board coat it on both sides with soldering varnish.
Caution! Never use compressed air to blow out the channels as any
oil particles in the air introduced by a faulty oil separator can cause
problems later in the manufacturing process.
