In the past, I've used kapton tape for masking, as well as masking tape and solder mask as you've described. I've also used dummy connectors, or connector caps to cover connectors/pins. In the end, though, I'm not sure any of these methods decrea

Adam, As for stripping the boards.. get them right to start with. Believe me you don't want to clean them. If you have to remove the coating most conformal coating brands offer a removal agent that has been tested on most all component ranges. IF yo

Currently experiencing a problem where the plastic molded bodies of tantalum capacitors are cracking during my SMT processing. Caught after our conformal coating process. I don't know where in the process they cracked. Currently running an exper

For the capacitors that Yageo analyzed... Were they taken out at representative points in the process?? ie. were samples taken from pre-assembly, pre-ICT, post-conformal coat, post-final test? You note that the parts 'seem' to be ok up to ICT. And

Thanks for your reply. This production lot is already finished. We produced in 2 lots, first was no-clean (and was ok), 2nd lot was cleaned (aqua based), and I need to look into the cleaning further. Since it's all finished I can't get parts from se

Hi Sounds like a tough problem with those holes underneath. I guess a tight fitted cap that can stand the process is the best idea. DaveF gave you more than a few sources for that alternative. They always send these samples in the mail to me. You a

We have a new custumer that needs thier thru-hole/smt boards conformally coated. We currently do not have a selective spraycoating system adn this low volume of these board do notwarrant a 100k machine. We are spending way to much time masking and un

Bright ideas??? Bright ideas!!! I got bright ideas. In order of decreasing luminosity: * Stop installing the socket, solder the PLCC to the board, dip the board. The socket is a waste of time and money. You never replace the PLCC in the field, a
