Back to the Future with vapor degreasing
Vapor degreasing was popular in the 1950s and 60's then went out of fashion. It's time to revisit this method of cleaning electronics, optics, ceramics and more due to the increasing costs associated with water and wastewater processes. Check out MicroCare's cost/benefit analysis of cleaning systems and see for yourself.

Mechanical connections are always the first suspects, but valuable minutes can still be lost picking out the single cable at fault. Pomona discusses the cable pulling and gripping requirements that ensure a solid connection.
