We're always on the lookout for new, more efficient and effective methods of cleaning circuit boards, so we'd like to introduce a new product which we believe is a game changer for the ultrasonic cleaning market.
What is ultrasonic cleaning?
Ultrasonic cleaning is a popular method of cleaning parts due to high levels of efficiency and low levels of input required. An ultrasonic cleaner uses high-frequency sound waves to create microscopic implosions, and the gentle scrubbing action that this creates dislodges contaminants from even the most intricate surfaces and hard-to-reach areas. This cleaning action on a microscopic scale results in a comprehensive clean with minimal effort and risk of damage, making it perfect for cleaning PCBs and other delicate or fiddly parts.

In honour of the International Day of Charity, our team at The Allendale Group have participated in guessing games to raise donations for the Down’s Syndrome Association.
We arranged various fun challenges to get everyone in the office involved for this excellent cause. Our challenges involved guessing how long a piece of string was, how many Portavolt Variable Transformers there were in a picture, and how many wrapped sweets there were in our C106 case.

A customer has reviewed our SRA Fast Chip Kit for SMD Removal - 2cc Flux 820mm Alloy - Lead-Free.
See what he had to say below,
"Following your recommendation to try your SRA Fast Chip Kit I thought I would let you know how I got on with it, in a word 'BRILLIANT'!!
Definitely going to buy more! I needed to remove a 38pin ESP 32 module which is basically a PCB with castellated sides. There are other components under its metal can, and excessive heat will wreck the module. The way the stuff works is it mix's with the existing solder to form a mixture that will stay liquid for some time ( 20 + secs). Although the solder melts at 58 deg you need a much hotter iron to enable it to stay liquid for some time, I used around 300 deg as the pads are quite big. You would need to turn that down for really fine pitch chips. You need to be VERY generous with the flux, and the solder getting it to bridge to its
Read our PCB engineers reply to a customer's query below.
Q: Looking to buy some flux from your company, if you could advise which flux is best for me. I am currently repairing pcb electronics, vehicle electrical parts like instrument clusters. The flux I currently use works well but if you revisit the pub after 1 or 2 months there's green residue over the area flux was used. It's eating away at the small resistors and is self damaging over time. Can you advise why this is happening and a suitable product from your shop that guarantees safe working with pcb electronics without the flux turning into green corrosive residue Iver to.e
A: Fluxes by their nature can be chemically aggressive which helps to remove oxidisation from metals which allows the solder to “Wet” the surface. It may be that the current flux being used is of the type which is recommended to be removed by chemically washing or ultrasonic cleaning. This is fine to use to achieve a good solder joint but
