We are developing a new product that requires conformal coating on the motor controller. We selected a silicone based conformal coat due to its ease of use. There has been disagreement among engineers as to its impact on the motor. We have contact

We allow no silicone in our shop, because they ruin solderability.

Especially VCM - volatile condensable materials. Strictly verboten around optics.

I'm not that concerned about the solderability of the motor. Our customer is concerned about the outgassing of the conformal coat effecting the motor brushes. Silicone will break down into SiO2 and SiC will result from a spark between the brushes a

We use nothing but silicones and have for at least the last 7 years. We don't have relays, but we do have motors. No issues with soldering, but our lines are constructed such that the last solder operation is a good distance from the coating or pot

Hose and/or Dave, Please elaborate of how the silicone can affect soldering. Material itself or fumes?

NASA is concerned about outgassing in high-vacuum environments. They select materials to minimize outgassing. http://outgassing.nasa.gov/og_desc.html

IMHO I would avoid sprayed silicones like the plague. They can travel around your facility and cause solder wetting issues that you will never know the root cause for. Also found this e-drive article on using silicones around motors and relays. Loo

Material, fumes, cured or uncured, all are suspect. Silicone gets on an operator's hands, that operator handles components ( even a day or more later ) silicone is transferred to the solder connections = contamination. Process and workcell control
