Quality control in conformal coating applications is vital for ensuring the reliability and longevity of electronic products. Conformal coatings protect printed circuit boards (PCBs) from environmental factors like moisture, dust, and chemicals. To maintain high standards, various inspection methods are employed throughout the coating process. Visual Inspection This is the first line of defense against defects. Inspectors look for uniform coverage, absence of bubbles, and proper curing. Training is essential to ensure that inspectors can identify subtle issues that may affect performance. UV Inspection Most conformal coatings contain a UV tracer, which makes the coating visible under ultraviolet light. UV inspection allows for easy detection of missed areas, ensuring complete coverage. This step is crucial for verifying that the coating has been applied correctly, especially in hard-to-see areas of the PCB. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) AOI systems offer a more precise and consistent method for inspecting conformal coatings. They use cameras and specialized software to detect defects that might be missed by the human eye. AOI systems can inspect large volumes of PCBs quickly, making them ideal for high-production environments. Thickness Measurement The thickness of the conformal coating is critical for providing adequate protection without affecting the performance of the PCB. Tools such as micrometers, ultrasonic thickness gauges, and eddy current devices are used to measure the coating thickness. Consistent application is key to preventing issues like cracking or insufficient protection. Functional Testing Beyond visual and automated inspections, functional testing is necessary to ensure that the conformal coating does not interfere with the electrical performance of the PCB. This involves subjecting the coated PCB to environmental stress tests, such as thermal cycling, humidity, and salt spray, to assess its reliability in real-world conditions. Process Control and Documentation Implementing strict process controls is essential to maintaining quality. This includes regularly calibrating equipment, training operators, and documenting every step of the process. Proper documentation helps trace issues back to their source and prevents them from recurring. Conclusion Effective quality control in conformal coating applications ensures that PCBs are protected from environmental damage, thereby extending their lifespan and reliability. By employing a combination of visual, UV, and automated inspections, along with thickness measurement and functional testing, manufacturers can achieve the highest standards in coating quality.

Manufacturing technology faces challenges with new packages/process when confronting the need for high yields. Identifying product defects associated with the manufacturing process is a critical part of electronics manufacturing. In this project, we focus on how to use AXI to identify BGA Head-in-Pillow (HIP), which is challenging for AXI testing. Our goal is to help us understand the capabilities of current AXI machines.

Potting in a vacuum or atmospheric conditions? This question about the correct procedure concerns many users, among others i.e. electronics manufacturers, who pot more and more complex parts and components for a huge variety of products. Against the actual requirements of product and process, a decision on the procedure is often made under the assumption: „Potting under atmosphere = affordable and easy" and „Potting under vacuum = expensive and difficult". But that's a thing of the past. The way to the correct method, however, requires the clarification of a number of factors.

Cracking remains the major reason of failures in multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) used in space electronics. Due to a tight quality control of space-grade components, the probability that as manufactured capacitors have cracks is relatively low, and cracking is often occurs during assembly, handling and the following testing of the systems. Majority of capacitors with cracks are revealed during the integration and testing period, but although extremely rarely, defective parts remain undetected and result in failures during the mission. Manual soldering and rework that are often used during low volume production of circuit boards for space aggravate this situation. Although failures of MLCCs are often attributed to the post-manufacturing stresses, in many cases they are due to a combination of certain deviations in the manufacturing processes that result in hidden defects in the parts and excessive stresses during assembly and use. This report gives an overview of design, manufacturing and testing processes of MLCCs focusing on elements related to cracking problems. The existing and new screening and qualification procedures and techniques are briefly described and assessed by their effectiveness in revealing cracks. The capability of different test methods to simulate stresses resulting in cracking, mechanisms of failures in capacitors with cracks, and possible methods of selecting capacitors the most robust to manual soldering stresses are discussed.

How susceptible are the metals used in modern electronics manufacturing to corrosion by common beverages? This is a question of interest, especially to manufacturers, retailers and to a certain extent end customers. In this study the dissolution of aluminum, copper, gold, iron, lead, nickel, SAC305 solder, silver, tin and zinc was examined. Individual foils of these materials were fully immersed in one of sixteen chosen beverages and heated for 3 days at 40°C. The resulting solutions were analyzed using ICP-OES. The data were examined in light of the known pH, conductivity and ionic contents of the beverages, determined in previous work. Conclusions about the relative susceptibility to corrosion of the various metals and the corrosive power of the different beverages are made.

The overall process of manufacturing electronics assemblies is characterized by a number of very different procedures. Along the production chain, technologies for cutting, assembling, soldering, bonding, gluing, marking, potting, etc. are used, all of them have one thing in common: They produce airborne pollutants, some of which can have a significant impact on employees, manufacturing equipment and products - and for this reason need to be removed effectively and efficiently.
