Circuit Board Design & Cleaning Evolves to Support Down-Hole Logging Technologies - Technical Article

Circuit Board Design & Cleaning Evolves to Support Down-Hole Logging Technologies, explores the transformation of PCB design and cleaning processes in support of modern logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools used in the oil and gas industry. From through-hole and surface-mount components to BGA chips with dense interconnections, the article highlights the cleaning challenges posed by flux residues, heat, and rugged environments. It details the transition from outdated, ozone-depleting solvents to modern, nonflammable, environmentally safe alternatives like SuprClean™ and VeriClean™, supported by the TriggerGrip™ dispensing tool. A case study shows how global oilfield service companies improved cleaning efficiency, reduced solvent waste, and achieved cost savings by adopting MicroCare’s advanced cleaning formulations
