Product FAQ
What is Ultrasonic PCB Cleaning?
Ultrasonic cleaning is a process that uses ultrasound (usually from 20–40 kHz) to agitate a fluid, this fluid is made up for this specific job which is to clean and remove any flux left over from recapping. We use deionised water (deionized depending where your from) and professional grade PCB cleaner.
An example of the process: https://youtu.be/m4mbKPySfLE?si=wCesMqEPGuyudalm
YES! We do and the process is not dissimilar from UK one. The only difference is the package requires a customs form (CN22) which every post office will be able to assist with, it simply states what is in the package, why is it being exported (repair or other) and value (put what you feel the value is, makes zero difference to us.
Once the board is completed, we do the same in reverse, this should not attract customs fees as its going back to the origin country 'repaired'.
