What your said looks like a acrylic coating thermal expansion causes small solder joint crack. Do you cure coating with heating, or heating after curing? Solder joint crack while you see resistor and QFN trouble? Clear and detail description of your

Well then, maybe it's an incompatibilty between the soldermask and the coating, possibly due to undercuring of the soldermask. Thoughts are: * Some suppliers provide their thoughts on the compatibility of their product with other suppliers. For ins

We do not conformal coat [CC] over NC flux residues. [Not to say that you cannot do it if you want to do it.] We know that the ability to do this properly depends on the NC flux res and the CC. Some work well and others work like a POS. 'The proo

| Hey youse guyz... | We're finally getting our first real job at the start-up I'm working at. It's actually a pretty unique little board too. Simple as all get out, but unique. You're not gonna believe what this goes into...guess? (I bet ya' you'll

Adam, As for stripping the boards.. get them right to start with. Believe me you don't want to clean them. If you have to remove the coating most conformal coating brands offer a removal agent that has been tested on most all component ranges. IF yo

Conformal coat bubbles using 1B73 and SC-205 nozzle I've read most of the posts on this subject. I'm using the SC-205 (airless) fan nozzle and 400 needle to apply 1B73 mixed with xylene thinner. I have micro bubbles which come directly out of the noz

20 times per hour. Lights should be behind "Georgian wired" glass rather than Ex'd' and all electrics should be hard-wired. Zone the room 1 = safest = around the coating machine and drying cupboards 1 meter from material. Zone 2 = > 1 meter away = OK

Some temporary solder masks outgas ammonia as they cure. It's possible that the first side cured and out gassed through the grounding hole. But when the second side cured, it outgassed between the board and the coating and in so doing reacted with

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

Ours is the same configuration as that, we run with neat Humiseal 1B31 through the needle valve and a 1:1 blend 1B31/Butanone (MEK) in the spray valves. Programming is done via a PC using the pendant and the path is point to point trained on scrap P
