Abstract
Cleaning electronic hardware to remove contaminants resulting from handling and assembly operations has long been a standard practice. The level of cleaning required often is governed by aesthetic (visual), electrical test, and performance requirements. Several of the criteria/requirements discussed herein relate to the manufacture of military electronic hardware, however, many are pertinent to the production of any high quality/high reliability equipment regardless of the customer or end-item use. The materials and processes used are governed by the type of product to be cleaned, the contaminants being removed, and the compatibility of the cleaning system with the product and the environment.
