Back in the days when I was in charge of a Paintline Dip conformal coater, I had the same issue with a non-hermetically sealed Potentiometer. We tried to use rubber boots, but the capillary/wicking action of our silicone-based heat cured coating was

Wondering if anyone has ever run across this in their travels. We have gotten a few field returns back in recent months and it appears that many of the balls of the PPC440 CPU BGA (ceramic) have shifted. I know we Xray this part 100% during assy so

Yep, that's already in the works, but boots by themselves don't address the wicking issue.

How is everyone coating under these connectors? Is RTV covering the outside so nothing can get in an answer? Or very thin silicone to wick under... http://img302.imageshack.us/img302/1728/dscn24450ac.jpg

Interesting, never heard of using wax as a coating mask. Not sure how well the AR coating would hold up to a hot alkaline wash (unless you have experience with it), but that stuff usually starts to flake off/de-wet if you just look at it wrong. I'm

You will have to machine the part off down to the top of the balls. Wick solder off from individual sites one at a time. All that will be left is Parylene shell where balls once were. Take an orangestick and alcohol to break up and remove. Tricky par

Good morning Jamie. I work at a CM and can offer some input on process flexability. I do not have any data on how reliable the coating is but I can say that they are both very difficult to control. Will you be selective coating or full coating? Ho
