With electronics invading every part of daily life, it is inevitable that—at some stage in the product’s life span—it will be exposed to high humidity/moisture; hence the need for a conformal coating. Also, for equipment to work, it needs a bias; therefore, the only item that can be easily removed is ionic contamination.Flux residue is not the only source of Ionic contamination. Handling the PCAs during assembly can lead to finger salts being deposited on the board and components. Any previous process may have left contamination on the board, including bare-board manufacturing.

What is PCB Surface Energy and How Does It Affect Conformal Coating

Surface chemistry is an enormously complex and cussed branch of the sciences; consequently, we will attempt only a layman's discussion and understanding here. For the purposes of conformal coating, surface energy must be considered for both the exposed surface of the PCB as well as for the coating itself.

Unpacking the Rising Popularity of LED Curable Conformal Coatings

The transition to LED curable conformal coatings is beginning to build momentum, beginning as a slow evolution and developing into a revolution of sorts. If you and your organization are faced with aging equipment and higher costs, there isn't a better time to consider the potential advantages of LED curable conformal coatings!

To Clean or Not To Clean Before Conformal Coating

In the days before surface mount printed circuit assemblies, components (such as resistors, diodes, and capacitors) were axial, and printed circuit board components were installed with the “through-hole” method using large conductor spacing. With the advent of integrated circuits, these too were through-hole with good spacing between legs.
