We have done it before prior to conformal coating a customer's populated board with parylene. They had us do a sample first then conducted testing. No ill effects but it really comes down to the components installed and what they can handle. The surf

Hey, great, thanks! Now I can check with my machine maker and see what their feeders are spec'd to. I may send a reel of parts out to be tested, too.
