YINCAE Launches Fully Flux Residue Compatible, Room Temperature Fast Flow, Reworkable Underfill SMT 88UL2
December 23, 2021 | YINCAEEstimated reading time: 1 minute
YINCAE is excited to announce that we have developed and upgraded SMT 88UL to SMT 88UL2, a fully flux residue compatible, room temperature fast flow and easily reworkable underfill.
The compatibility of underfill and flux residue has long been a traditional issue in the electronic industry. This compatibility issue normally leads to underfill flow issue, underfill voids, underfill delamination and solder extrusion during the double reflow process and automotive application. Typically, it is too costly to clean the flux residue in SMT assembly. SMT 88UL2 is designed to be fully compatible with the flux residues of almost all solder paste from major manufacturers. SMT 88UL2 can fast flow into any gap size (less than 1?) at room temperature and fast cure at lower temperatures without any flow and void issues eliminating cleaning flux residue. Our SMT 88UL2 can withstand multiple 260?C reflow process without any delamination, solder extrusion and solder ball issues without cleaning flux residue. It has demonstrated excellent drop and thermal cycling performance.
This material can be used as an underfill for flip chip, chip scale package, ball grid array devices, package on package, and land grid array applications. It is also suitable for bare chip protection in a variety of advanced packages such as memory cards, chip carriers, hybrid circuits and multi- chip modules. It is designed for high production and an environment where process speed and thermal dissipation are key concerns.

I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
