How thick should I apply my conformal coating?
I am regularly asked how thick should the conformal coating be? After all, the performance of the coating is dependent on the coating thickness applied. Well, the simple answer is thick enough so the conformal coating works and protects the
Five key facts about Parylene coating and printed circuit boards (PCBs)
1. Parylene is a trade name for an organic polymer, generically known as Poly (p-xylylene). 2. The Parylene film is created via Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process. This involves the vaporization and subsequent pyrolysis of a dimer (raw unprocessed coating)
Five important facts about acrylic conformal coatings
Acrylic conformal coatings are currently the most popular coating material in the world. There are many reasons for this that include: The acrylic coating provides excellent moisture protection and the best all round performance relative to its price and application
What are the different techniques for cleaning a circuit board?
Nowadays, there are many different methods and media for cleaning circuit boards. That includes low, medium and high volume production levels. However, when considering a new process then you the key issues can be broken down into two different categories.
