The CT10, CT100 and CT 1000 are designed tio make simple and accurate ionic contamination test in fully compliance with MILP-28809, MIL -STD-2000A, DEF-STD 10/03, IPC -TR-%*#, IEC Standards.

These measures are necessary to check the cleanliness of boards and assemblies after cleaning, or in case of new solder process parameters (no clean process, conformal coating, lead free alloy with new activator . '85), for quality control and approval.

In humid atmosphere, the ionic contamination is transformed in electrolyte catching moving ions which can create failures on electronic assemblies (dendrites, bad insulation. '85..).

The ionic contamination test will point out these risk, secure accordingly assembly process and will extend life duration, reliability of end product.

Process at first to clean efficiently the specimen using chemistry using chemistry 2-propanol and de-ionised water (75/25 or 50/50) while analyzing continuously contamination development in the clearing solution running in close loop tubing.

Measurement Driven By PC
The operator registers the simple dimension and dip it the tank. The test is fully automatic and contamination results are given vs time. The chemistry is regenerated after each test by filtration.

Test chemistry circulation is obtained using a free maintenance pump and a set of valves providing the possibility to switch from regeneration to test circuit.

Very sensitive conductivity cell (0,0001µS/cm) with integrated temperature probe can detect very lown contaminant even on very small samples. Sophisticated software offer the possibility to record and compare results with International Standards.
