With so many types of conformal coatings, each being effective for specific job types, it can quickly become overwhelming to choose an option that has all the right benefits. Today, we'll take a closer look at three conformal coatings--silicone, urethane, and acrylic--and summarize what you need to know to make an informed decision.
If you're seeking to learn more about parylene, odds are you've heard a little bit about it's more common uses. (Unless you find parylene's uses and composition fascinating, which, we'll admit, we do). Some of the most common place uses you've likely run into would be in:
When we use electronics throughout the day, we rarely consider how they operate. Thinking about the inner workings of electronics can be mind-boggling as they are so small yet produce so much. From everything like a handheld electronic to security systems, there are electronic circuits making things run. These circuits must be protected. Read on to learn about why and how.
Conformal coating, applied as a liquid coating resin, is used for protection against issues in PCB (printed circuit boards) such as:
Conformal coatings protect your small electronic devices from environmental threats and ensure functionality. It makes sense then that you should thoroughly research coating service providers before settling on one. Here are a few tips for choosing the right conformal coating company.
Conformal coatings are all around us in everyday objects and still most people don’t know what it is. Electronics need to be protected from environmental threats such as dust, water, temperature, and chemicals. To protect the printed circuit boards (PCBs) that make these electronics run, they are covered in non-conductive film, otherwise known as a conformal coating.
Printed circuit boards(PCB) make a large majority of our everyday items run. When producing a PCB, you want to make sure that it functions without error. A conformal coating covers the PCB, and it is up to you to choose which coating will do the best job.
Conformal coatings are used to protect printed circuit boards within electronics. Without this protection, electronics would fail after contact with a chemical, water, or other environmental hazards. Many industries use conformal coatings, but the military is an example of an industry that needs their devices protected from extreme situations.
A PCB, or printed circuit board, connects and powers electronics large and small. These components are delicate and need to be protected accordingly. Here’s your guide to conformal coating for PCB’s.
When applying a conformal coating, there are components whose functionality would be disrupted by the coating. To prevent this, a masking process is used. This masking is applied to connectors, header pins, plugs, and sockets.
