Conformal coating is a material that is applied to electronic products or assemblies to protect them from solvents, moisture, dust or other contaminants that may cause harm. Coating also prevents dendrite growth, which may result in product failure. This paper will discuss the variables that affect the application of conformal coatings, and review in detail those variables that impact the process of selective coating of printed circuit boards.

How to Choose the Right PCB Coating Machine Line Selecting the ideal equipment for your PCB coating line can be a complex task. In this article, we will guide you through the critical components of a standard PCB coating machine line and their solutions to common challenges. We'll delve into the line's composition, including the elevator, transfer station, coating machine, inspection station, curing oven, and their interconnectedness through a return conveyor. Let's explore each element and understand its role. Components of a PCB Coating Machine Line: Elevator: The PCB coating process starts with an elevator, efficiently transporting PCB boards to the next stage. Transfer Station: After the elevator, boards are conveyed to a transfer station, preparing them for the coating process. Coating Machine: The heart of the PCB coating line is the coating machine. We offer a range of coating machines, including I.C.T-T550, I.C.T-T550U, I.C.T-T600, and I.C.T-T650. Inspection Conveyor: Following the coating process, the boards move to an inspection station. The second transfer station is equipped with LED lights and a blue glass cover, enabling operators to closely inspect the coating quality. This feature is vital for ensuring consistent, dust-free coatings. Curing Oven: For UV-curable adhesives, we provide a UV curing oven to effectively solidify the adhesive. Return Conveyor: Beneath the entire line runs a return conveyor, connected to the elevator. This conveyor system efficiently returns PCBs from the last elevator to the first one, reducing manual handling and streamlining operations. The Advantages of the PCB Coating Line Design: 1. Easy Accessibility: The operator's station is strategically located beside the coating machine, ensuring easy access for setup and adjustments. 2. Enhanced Efficiency: The integrated return conveyor eliminates the need for manual transport, optimizing workflow. 3. Quality Control: The inspection station with the blue glass cover enables operators to inspect coatings for quality and cleanliness. 4. Dust Prevention: The blue glass cover also serves as a barrier to prevent dust contamination on freshly coated PCBs. Selecting the right PCB coating machine line is essential for achieving quality and efficiency in your operations. Our meticulously designed equipment line, along with its well-engineered components, can help you attain superior results. If you have further questions or need assistance in choosing the best solution for your specific requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are committed to providing solutions that meet your needs and exceed your expectations.

White residue remaining after cleaning circuit board assemblies can be caused by a variety of chemicals and reactions. Rosin and water-soluble fluxes, circuit board resins and epoxies, component materials and other contamination all contribute to this complex chemistry. This paper discusses many of the sources of the residues that seem to be an ever-increasing occurrence.

This paper describes the results of an intensive whisker formation study on Pb-free assemblies with different levels of cleanliness. Thirteen types of as-received surface-mount and pin-through-hole components were cleaned and intentionally contaminated with solutions containing chloride, sulfate, bromide, and nitrate. Then the parts were assembled on double-sided boards that were also cleaned or intentionally contaminated with three fluxes having different halide contents. The assemblies were subjected to high-temperature/high-humidity testing (85_C/85% RH). Periodic examination found that contamination triggered whisker formation on both exposed tin and solder fillets. Whisker occurrence and parameters depending on the type and level of contamination are discussed. Cross-sections were used to assess the metallurgical aspects of whisker formation and the microstructural changes occurring during corrosion.

Latent short circuit failures have been observed during testing of Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) for power distribution of spacecraft of the European Space Agency. Root cause analysis indicates that foreign fibers may have contaminated the PCB laminate. These fibers can provide a pathway for electromigration if they bridge the clearance between nets of different potential in the presence of humidity attracted by the hygroscopic laminate resin. PCB manufacturers report poor yield caused by contamination embedded in laminate. Inspections show ...

Fast forward to current time. Today, our society embraces cleanliness. We expect, demand, and evaluate cleanliness in almost every aspect of our lives. We wash our cars and pets. We maintain high cleanliness standards in our hotels and public spaces. We require cleanliness in our restaurants and hospitals. We sanitize our hands throughout the day to prevent illness. We live in a clean-centric culture. While we drive clean cars, stay in clean hotels and eat clean food, there is one part of our life where we actually abandoned cleanliness. Many of the circuit assemblies that affect almost every aspect of our daily lives are no longer required to be clean. Even though our life experience confirms the link between cleanliness and reliability, happiness, health, and safety, circuit assemblies no longer maintain that "cleanliness is next to Godliness" status. This was not always the case. There was a time when virtually all circuit assemblies were cleaned. The removal of flux and other process-related contamination was commonplace. Cleaning was as normal as soldering. As we bring history into current time, one may relate the fall of Rome and its adoption of personal hygiene and the subsequent decline in human health to the large-scale abandonment of cleanliness expectations of circuit assemblies and the subsequent reliability issues it has created. How did this happen? Has history repeated itself?
