Whether or not conformal coating creates a reliability problem if it bridges the gap between the board and bottom of the part depends on the properties of the coating. A low modulus coating is fine, but one thats modulus increases at colder temperat

Dip the tool handles in a colored plastic coating material, like: * Plasti-Coat Plastisol Coating * Aervoe Polyshield Protective Coat

Guess the better question is why are the resistors and FETs heating to the degree that they discolored the coating? If the coating is discolored, I'd be concerned with the possibility of cracking as dave mentioned. Cracks defeat the purpose of the

Hi, Currently we are facing bubble formation in conformal coatings in the pcba. Have varied various specs of the conformal coating machine, even during manual application also having the same issue. the material used is silicone conformal coating. N

Not entirely clear on your question. We don't coat any of our hardware (assemblies are coated prior to hardware installation), so if coating needs to be reworked after this, then hardware removal is needed.

Hi folks, I have a conformal coating application where I need the coating to be UV stable for a number of years without any crazing or cracking of the coating. I have looked for such a coating and have come up empty handed. Much of the circuit boar

Hi Davef, Thanks...Saw 1 of your thread that you posted : Thanks for providing... From davef : There are many possibilities: * Conformal coat is incompatible with surface residue on the board * Conformal coat is incompatible with solder mask on the

Hello SMTA, We have some flex board assemblies that will require conformal coating. Coating rigid boards is nothing new, but this will be our first with flex. Are there any challenges associated with coating flex PCBs? on this particular assembly

The easy part is to determine which parts should be coated. The harder part is making sure the parts that should not be coated do not get coated. I don't even want to think about the amount of labor and materials I've lost due to conformal coat get
