There are many possibilities: * Conformal coat is incompatible with surface residue on the board * Conformal coat is incompatible with solder mask on the board * Moisture is out-gassing from the board * Conformal coat is too thick and does not allow

A friend in the contract coating business said: "... ask why the wire is [teflon] coated in the first place, as only the solder joints should be coated in this situation as the flexing/bending of the wires will cause the coating to crack and flake of

Hi, Some nano coat supplier said that you can drop water to the surface where the coating supposed to present before to check. If it's beading, it's still there. I take it that you meant by self in-house wiping of coating, yes? Stencil supplier nan

Put a known thickness gage next to your boards to be coated. Then coat it in the same pass as your boards. Measure the "new" thickness of your gage and subtract the difference. That will be your coating thickness. This is assuming your coating your o

We use paper labels with a protective coating to prevent browning during reflow. We've had no problems coating over these labels with our silicone. If your coating is not silicone, a Sharpie should print on the coating.

Josh: Do you measure the thickness of the coupon prior to coating or do you peal the coating and measure that?

Generally, solder connections and leads are conformal coated, unless there is a reason not to coat them.

What type of conformal coating are you using and are you allowing the coating to migrate under the device in question? If you are allowing the coating unbder the BGA the problem could be CTE of coating is much greater than that of the BGA balls/sold
