IPC-TM-650 2.3.25 Detection and Measurement of Ionizable Surface Contaminants by Solvent Extract (ROSE) Resistance

The test methods defined in the IPC-TM-650 2.3.25 standard published by the Printed Circuits Institute (IPC), a trade association established to standardize the assembly and production requirements of electronic equipment and assemblies, are used as process control tools. It is used to inspect printed boards or printed board assemblies and determine whether they meet the monitoring level of the user's performance specification. The bulk ionic cleanliness test is performed by measuring ionizable surface contaminants removed by the following three methods:

  • Manual extraction method
  • Dynamic extraction method
  • Static extraction method

However, the test method described in this standard does not predict reliability and should only be used as a process control tool.

Miniaturization and higher functionality in electronic packaging require the use of advanced packages and small components. This trend is translated into the use of new package types, increased use of chip scale packages, as well as increased component density and tighter printed circuit board (PCB) layouts. However, advanced package innovations and new flux types jeopardize the validity of the ROSE (resistance of solvent extract) cleanliness test method. The effectiveness of the ROSE cleaning test process is being investigated to dissolve and measure ionic contaminants in sheets brazed with no-clean and lead-free flux technologies.

Printed circuit board cleaning improves efficiency, assembly performance, and long-term reliability . Ionic and non-ionic contaminants affect the operation and reliability of the device they are on. In a humid environment, ionic contaminants can cause insulation resistance problems such as short circuits between conductors, corrosion that erodes conductors, or loss. Non-ionic residues are non-conductive, but the insulating properties of the residues surrounding the conductors lead to undesirable impedance.

Performed with a simple resistivity (or conductivity) meter, the ROSE test provides a quick assessment of overall cleanliness and has been a tool for many years.

Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, within the scope of the IPC-TM-650 2.3.25 standard, the resistance of the solvent extract (ROSE) of ionizable surface pollutants. It also provides testing services for its detection and measurement.
