This presentation explains the special circumstances of military (hardened) fiber optic connectors and suggests specific tools and procedures for cleaning these devices.

Cleaning flux residue after soldering (fluxes or solder pastes) from different manufacturers can be very tricky, but the Critical Cleaning Lab at MicroCare solves this complex problem. This situation arose when printed circuit boards were produced using a combination of different fluxes and solder pastes. This can be a real challenge because the different fluxes might react to…

This presentation documents the optimal technique to use when cleaning MT connectors and ARINC 801 connectors used on many fiber optic networks. It also shows they numerous types of contamination found on these connectors and explains the sources of those contaminates.
