Is it possible and does any standard cover inspecting soldering joints through conformal coating?

You can inspect joints using an X-ray machine and we use a sand-blaster type machine which blasts (Starch) to remove the conformal coating. (Carbo Blast). However; the inspection should be done prior to Coating, as we all know some jobs are rushed t

The next question how do you do repair through conformal coating . Opps! Better off having done all your inspection and testing first! Hopefully your question is for service! regards sarason

inspect => conformal coat ... and standards are aligned with that philosophy. I can imagine doing a good job inspecting assembly after being coated with particular coating thickness, optical properties, lighting conditions. Ultra-thins are so thin

IPC J-STD-001 does not allow solder inspection to be combined with coating inspection for classes 2 and 3.

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

Can anyone recommend a similar product to ElectroLube FPC ? https://electrolube.com/product/fpc-fluorinated-polymer-conformal-coating/ The price on this seems to be ramping up every few months - we don't go through that much but it would be nice

We've never heard of seen of such a thing either. We tried a clean sample board and applied con coat. Same process through out and we saw nothing. After speaking with the original operators who was curing the boards he had left the boards much longer

Hello Sirs: Recently we are having an issue with environmental stress (high humidity or moisture), so we decide to apply conformal coating on our motherboard to protect via holes. According to IPC-A-610D, spec of thickness for type AR is 0.03~0.13 m

Hi All, Recently we are working on the conformal coating process using Humiseal chemical 1B73 and thinner 521. Bubbles on component body/joints are seen after gone through the IR Reflow Oven. During the conformal coating, only tiny bubbles seen af
