Flux recommendation

[brandon7861]

I've been using that nasty conductive plumbing flux for electronics my entire life and now that I am tinkering with SMT devices that cant be cleaned under, I am realizing it may be time to upgrade. Does anyone know of a good flux that is not conductive nor corrosive? I am looking for something that cleans off easily but wont be an issue if I miss some.

Thanks

there are a few good brands to choose from. one of the most widely used and recommended by both hobbyists and professionals is kester.

951 Flux-Pen®

Kester 951 Flux-Pen® is a zero-halogen, non-rosin Flux-Pen that is specifically designed for rework of conventional and surface mount circuit board assemblies. The extremely low solids content (2.0%) and nature of the activator system results in practically no residue left on the assembly...
