Dear members,
I have got an ordinary gray thermal paste that has no name/model on the box.
I put some of this thermal paste on a 128-pin QFP IC. A bit of this thermal paste was put on pins of the IC.
I tried to clean the pins by thinner but the thermal paste cannot be cleaned from the pins properly. because the pins are tiny and the thermal paste is stuck between them.
Is it possible that the thermal paste damages pins of the IC in long term by creating corrosion or something?
Is it safe to leave the thermal paste on the pins?
I guess the thermal paste might contain a bit of water since it is not dry. Then, Can the thermal paste cause corrosion?
I searched the net and I found this:
"Some thermal pastes cause corrosion with aluminum and with copper it does bond weirdly over time."
Thanks
