Once you have the capabilities to track a board from the initial stages in kitting all the way out the door in box build the possibilities are endless. You will now have: 1. An exact count of your companies WIP. 2. The exact location of every board i

Conformal Coating on Circuit Boards

Electronics Forum | Thu Jan 27 08:52:05 EST 2000 | Todd A. Braun

We currently use a silicon conformal coating on many of our manufactured circuit boards and are experiencing situations where the coating doesn't conform. For example, on the sharp edges of components and corners of leads it pulls away before curing

Hey John: Chrys wrote a good description on calculating flux density a while back. Here is our version of her procedure: 4.3 Determine the amount of flux on the board. 4.3.1 Get a piece of corrugated cardboard and a weighing scale accurate to 0.01
