Has anyone experienced a problem with conformal coating adhesion to IS-410 boards? We are having problems with one suppliers boards. IS-410 boards from other suppliers are fine and all FR-4 boards that I have looked at are fine. We are using Conap

In your situation, the issue is the compatibility of your flux residues and the encapsulant that you choose. First, contact your encapsulant supplier for advice. They've likely been down this road with other customers and may be able so save you som

The causes of voids are extremely paste dependent. I did a literature search a couple years ago and the papers all disagreed with each other - one would say turn knob "A" to the right and the next would tell you to turn it to the left. I did my own

I'd suspect contamination also, possibly from the board supplier. Sr. Tech's post mentioned what looks like a blister on the board, in the upper right of the Q19 photo. This could very well be a contaminate from the PWB fab shop. I've seen similar pr

The things to ask your board supplier would be: 1) Was the Pre-preg material that was used on this board within its Shelf life? and ask for the Incoming inspection CofC for the Pre-preg material. 2)Was this order shipped from Stock - this is why

It's more likely the warp is due to material issues. I've spent way more time than I'd care to admit running Thermoire with various profiles and there's pretty much nothing you can do to reduce warp via profile unless your current profile is truly a

I think the main driver is MTBF data driven by the Car OEMS, mainly german makers pushing this onto suppliers in supply chain. Vacuum soldering and void reduction is a hot topic for the leading electronics suppliers in Germany at the moment. Is not r
