The easy part is to determine which parts should be coated. The harder part is making sure the parts that should not be coated do not get coated. I don't even want to think about the amount of labor and materials I've lost due to conformal coat get

I am sure that this is a problem that will never be solved, but something that I am seeing in increased numbers. Often refered to as "Black Pads". After production, returns from the field coming back with contaminated pads under various components.

I worked for a place that built flight boxes for the military and some comercial. As Russ stated, wrist straps were used where they could be used. In areas where they were in the way, i.e. room where they masked and sprayed the boards, they had the

We've been using a series of relatively high durometer rubber molds to protect male headers from conformal coating here in our facility for quite a while now. They are black in color and are sold in strips that can be cut to desired lengths. Unfortun

Ah...the joys of subjective analysis! At a glance, these pictures look fine to me. Other than the IC's, which you've indicated were masked, and, maybe R12 in the last picture and CC1384 in the first image, coating looks uniform and well distributed

We seem to have an accountability issue when it comes to operators building defective product. Currently we are putting a piece of masking tape with the assembly #, work order, and operator initials on our black trays at the end of the reflow oven. I

I'm currently working on bringing a manual coating process/workcenter online and my QA team is giving me some grief. For background, we're using Humiseal 1B31 thinned with thinner 521, mixed at 1:1 by volume. Spraying through a Binks HVLP with 10 P

Hi Pete We have a Black and Decker Power File and have mounted it on a bench in an enclosure to capture the hazardous dust. We used a hopper (usually used for guttering!) with a wire mesh over the top (static reasons) mounted in the bench top inside

| Anyone using SMT "Fair-Rite" beads? We have a P/N 2743019447 that we're using. We need to know the shear force strength of the part and the vendor's man who knows is in Deutschland and can't help until Monday. I can't wait that long. | | Also, do
