Temperature cycling testing is a method of accelerated life testing done to PCCs that are exposed to normal operation temperature variations over its lifetime. During the testing, intermittent "open" failures can first occur at the hot and cold extremes of the test, exposing weaknesses in the design and assembly. A poor/weak solder joint fatigues, a via trace or barrel cracks, loose connections or a component fails all causing an intermittent open. When not at extreme temperatures, the PCC assembly relaxes, the "open" closes creating electrical connectivity. If you are monitoring the PCC under test in-situ you will know that an intermittent failure has occurred, and the test could be stopped for inspection. If in-situ monitoring was not implemented, you would not know if there were intermittent failures or not. The PCC gets powered up and works fine at room temperature.

Quality control in conformal coating applications is vital for ensuring the reliability and longevity of electronic products. Conformal coatings protect printed circuit boards (PCBs) from environmental factors like moisture, dust, and chemicals. To maintain high standards, various inspection methods are employed throughout the coating process. Visual Inspection This is the first line of defense against defects. Inspectors look for uniform coverage, absence of bubbles, and proper curing. Training is essential to ensure that inspectors can identify subtle issues that may affect performance. UV Inspection Most conformal coatings contain a UV tracer, which makes the coating visible under ultraviolet light. UV inspection allows for easy detection of missed areas, ensuring complete coverage. This step is crucial for verifying that the coating has been applied correctly, especially in hard-to-see areas of the PCB. Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) AOI systems offer a more precise and consistent method for inspecting conformal coatings. They use cameras and specialized software to detect defects that might be missed by the human eye. AOI systems can inspect large volumes of PCBs quickly, making them ideal for high-production environments. Thickness Measurement The thickness of the conformal coating is critical for providing adequate protection without affecting the performance of the PCB. Tools such as micrometers, ultrasonic thickness gauges, and eddy current devices are used to measure the coating thickness. Consistent application is key to preventing issues like cracking or insufficient protection. Functional Testing Beyond visual and automated inspections, functional testing is necessary to ensure that the conformal coating does not interfere with the electrical performance of the PCB. This involves subjecting the coated PCB to environmental stress tests, such as thermal cycling, humidity, and salt spray, to assess its reliability in real-world conditions. Process Control and Documentation Implementing strict process controls is essential to maintaining quality. This includes regularly calibrating equipment, training operators, and documenting every step of the process. Proper documentation helps trace issues back to their source and prevents them from recurring. Conclusion Effective quality control in conformal coating applications ensures that PCBs are protected from environmental damage, thereby extending their lifespan and reliability. By employing a combination of visual, UV, and automated inspections, along with thickness measurement and functional testing, manufacturers can achieve the highest standards in coating quality.
