Antistatic cleanroom wipes are essential in electronics manufacturing for cleaning printed circuit boards (PCBs) without causing damage or introducing contaminants. Their antistatic properties prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), protecting sensitive components.
Key Features:
-
Antistatic Properties: Prevents ESD, safeguarding delicate PCB components.
-
Lint-Free: Ensures no fiber or particle residues remain on PCB surfaces.
-
Durable: Resists tearing during cleaning, enabling consistent performance.
-
High Absorbency: Efficiently removes oils, flux residues, and dust.
Application in PCB Cleaning:
-
Pre-Assembly Cleaning: Wipe PCBs to remove dust and oils before component placement.
-
Post-Soldering Cleaning: Removes flux residues and other contaminants after soldering.
-
Component Maintenance: Cleans connectors, sensors, and other sensitive PCB components.
-
Cleanroom Compliance: Maintains particle-free conditions for Class 100–1000 cleanroom standards.
Best Practices:
-
Single Use: Use a fresh wipe for each cleaning task to avoid cross-contamination.
-
Proper Storage: Keep wipes sealed in a clean, dry environment to preserve antistatic and lint-free properties.
-
Gloves Recommended: Prevent oils or dirt from hands contaminating the PCB or wipe.
-
Unidirectional Wiping: Wipe in one direction to prevent redepositing particles.
