Conformal Coating

Conformal coating for Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs) used in outdoor equipment such as lawnmowers and automotive applications offers several key benefits: Environmental Protection Conformal coatings provide a protective barrier against environmental elements such as...

Pot Life The chemical composition is also very important as often materials have finite work times, commonly referenced as pot life; the hardware must be cleaned to avoid curing inside the equipment. The presence of...

The corrosion of Nickel-Palladium-Gold (Ni-Pd-Au) finish terminals in humid enviroments is known to be reduced with the application of a conformal coating such as acrylic. Corrosion has a higher rate of occurance around the terminal...

Table of Contents Before starting any selective conformal coating process, it is essential to consider the right system and valve combination for the material and circuit board combination. This is the final stage in ensuring...

Conformal coating applications present a range of challenges to contract manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Because of miniaturization trends, more creative dispensing techniques are required to maintain accuracy, repeatability and selectivity. Many types of...
