| | I have boards coated with Humiseal 1B73. At a late point mfg. site we need to remove a series of 0603 resistors for optioning purposes. I have been trying to determine the fastest, easiest way to re-coat the pads after removal. Drying time of the

Hi All, Recently we are working on the conformal coating process using Humiseal chemical 1B73 and thinner 521. Bubbles on component body/joints are seen after gone through the IR Reflow Oven. During the conformal coating, only tiny bubbles seen af

First, it appears that your solder mask and your coating material appear to be incompatible. Second, IPA leaves a residue that's probably not compatible with your coating material, either. IPC-HDBK-830 - Guidelines for Design, Selection and Applic

Hi Davef, The bubbles occurs at the body also...there's also a washing process before the conformal coating:-the Flux residue are removed after washing. ... The curing profile is also something that we are looking into during the initial troubles

Hello Sirs: Recently we are having an issue with environmental stress (high humidity or moisture), so we decide to apply conformal coating on our motherboard to protect via holes. According to IPC-A-610D, spec of thickness for type AR is 0.03~0.13 m

We do a conformal coating for a customer with copper-nickel-gold pads on his board. The pads are masked prior to coating with a standard gel, containing ammonia. After thousands of boards, being processed like this, now the gold pads seem to be less

We have experienced poor adhesion of acrylic conformal coating to plastic bodied IC�s. The observed symptoms of this are a blistering or lifting of the coating at the surface of the component, although peel testing has revealed that this is not alwa

Unfortunately I have no information about the metal layers and the processes. I only see the effect. Is it possible or common that the nickel undercoat could have been forgotten?

Hi, Our assembly process involves applying Kapton tape to the back side of our device, a laborious cutting and sticking operation. We are scaling up from "cottage industry" so I'm interested to know if you can buy Kapton shapes on a reel cut to our s

Sorry Chunks! Not really with it - Friday afternoon, with 10 minutes to go. From experience I'd go with termination coating problem, linked a a few values, as they batch coat by value - so a 220R may be affected, but not a 100R.
