Moisture before reflow is consideration, because damages parts and boards in the reflow process. It is all about this water expanding as gas and cracks part or causes PCB delamination. Moisture after reflow is still affecting the work of the product

1. What is the best way to remove polyurethane conformal coating from selected areas? Your conformal coat material supplier is best equipped to tell you how to remove the coating. Polyurethane conformal coating is not easy to remove. Without in-pu

We have been using a circuit board in the assembly of HV Tank used in X-ray generator. This board acts as a sealant to the oil tank opening. The top side area of the board which comes in contact with oil is conformal coated to avoid oil leak. However

I got a report from Yageo yesterday with microsections and and and..... result: Cracks I did a test run on boards after ICT, but before coating. They are all ok. Seems the cracking happens somewhere after the ICT. But at that stage all assembly is a

I have a right angle male shrouded connector and the whole set of termination leads is tin lead plated, at least 100 microinches thick. Should the entirety of the lead be conformal coated? Or can we have just the joint coated? I know I have coated le

Yep fully functional and failed during the test. 25 to 55C in 3 hour hold for 9 hours then 55C to 25C in 3 hours hold for 9 hours then repeat. Humidity at 95 percent! Boards only part conformally coated. Growth with and without the coating. seems to

Pick & Place > Wave-solder > other parts > test > conformal coating Is there any production error that could make a ceramic cap conductive? PS: want to add one point: The caps don't seem to be cracked. We changed a few 100 and didn't notice any bro

Josh: Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) is Dow Corning's trade name for it's family of silicone cure sealants. RTV is about the worst kind of coating there is. Its chemistry is highly ionic and it requires atmospheric humidity absorbed to "complete

We doubt that Humiseal 1A33 is causing opens in your assemblies. We'd guess the opens occur earlier in the process, but are not hard failures. So, you pass your tests. When applied, the conformal coat flows into the gap in the ball crack and insulate

| I have a product using high temperature solder to connect terminal pins to a PCB. The board is single sided copper, no plaiting. The solder is 95% tin 5 % silver. The flux is low activity rosin. The product is a subassembly. When the product i
