Shielding printed circuit boards from environmental damage is the primary purpose for using light-cure conformal coatings.
A few of the more common Q&As are summarized below:
In the new era of connectivity, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is an important consideration when working with electronic components.
Manual brushing is just one of many methods commonly used for applying conformal coating materials to PCBs and other components. It is a hand-applied method that requires little investment into automation or equipment. With practice, it can be one of the simplest methods available, especially for small-batch production or isolated applications.
Electronics connectors have evolved from simple wire-to-wire interface components to those capable of transferring enormous volumes of data required for applications such as video and autonomous driving. Connectors are also being exposed to more demanding environmental conditions such as liquids, noxious gases, extreme temperatures, mechanical shock, and vibration. In order to improve reliability and longevity, many industries including aerospace and automotive have chosen to include flexible thermoplastic gel-pads in designs.
