There's some nice low-VOC uV coatings out there. We don�t use uV cured coatings, but try: * http://www.emersoncuming.com * http://www.dymax.com * http://www.mgchemicals.com * http://www.loctite.com * http://www.humiseal.com Be aware that uV co

Q1.Does anyone know a way to verify the amount of OSP coating on a board? A1. There is no specification. Thickness is difficult to measure. Thickness is product related. There are at least six major suppliers. Years ago, here on SMTnet, J Medernach s

Your problem is likely not the Pd-Ag surface layers, but the underlying metal to which you need to wet. Either a base metal is: * Contaminated and poorly wettable. OR * A material [eg, Alloy 42 (check with magnet), Kovar, etc] that is inherently dif

This may sound weird, however, I have to ask... what is pladium? I have a jeweler trying to sell me a ring made with pladium. Why can I not find information on it? Will someone please email me with information.

Steve, We use that Circuit Works pen as well! You can purchase a UV cure then download it to an opaque syringe or bottle. Use a small EFD or similar luer lock tip and dispense where needed. Tom

We're not familiar with your DYMAX #984-LVUF. The problem is not with your conformal coating. The problem is with your 0805 [and not all of 0805, probably just those from a specific supplier]. This lack of coverage of components is called dewetting

We've had similar "disputes" with our quality department. A technical engineer from Nordson told me that the flourescents in the coating can look faint depending on the angle in which you look at the surface as well as how solder joints reflect the

A friend in the contract coating business said: "... ask why the wire is [teflon] coated in the first place, as only the solder joints should be coated in this situation as the flexing/bending of the wires will cause the coating to crack and flake of

I use conformal coating DYMAX #984-LVUF and I don't know if it's a problem of viscosity but 0805 components are not covered properly. We use a dispensor to applied it and we cured it by UV. Even if I apply a thicker layer, the coating seems to have
