There are many possibilities: * Conformal coat is incompatible with surface residue on the board * Conformal coat is incompatible with solder mask on the board * Moisture is out-gassing from the board * Conformal coat is too thick and does not allow

Common RTV does out-gas causing corrosion. NASA allows use of non/low-out-gassing RTV. Try the following companies: * Ablestik Electronic: Materials, 20021 Susana Road, Rancho Dominguez, California 90221 U.S.A., 310-764.4600, F 310-764-2545 * Arlon

NASA is concerned about outgassing in high-vacuum environments. They select materials to minimize outgassing. http://outgassing.nasa.gov/og_desc.html

I'm not that concerned about the solderability of the motor. Our customer is concerned about the outgassing of the conformal coat effecting the motor brushes. Silicone will break down into SiO2 and SiC will result from a spark between the brushes a

Some temporary solder masks outgas ammonia as they cure. It's possible that the first side cured and out gassed through the grounding hole. But when the second side cured, it outgassed between the board and the coating and in so doing reacted with

Hi Marc I too have been using a fully synthetic Motor oil on Heller reflow ovens for a number of years. In our case Mobil 1 5W-50. We have a field failure problem with some 1% resistors under conformal coating where sulphates are dissolving the si

| Hello, | | We are qualifying new sources of PWB vendors. We've got the first lot of "produciton" boards in and we want to put them through the paces before turing the vendors on. | | So far, the tests I can think of performing, and that we have
