Conformal Coating Rework and Repair

Posted by Sean Horn on Mon, Aug 20, 2012

Stripping or removal of unwanted conformal coating from a printed circuit board (PCB) can be a relatively simple process or a very messy difficult job. It does depend on several factors including the type of conformal coating you need to remove, where the coating is found and the type of components on the board.

Silicone conformal coating is becoming an increasingly popular choice for conformal coating applications.  Because of its high temperature capabilities, moisture protection, and ease of application/rework, people are strongly considering silicone coatings for their projects.

Automated Conformal Coating Spray Robot Issues

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Jun 1, 2012

There are many benefits to using a spray robot for conformal coating.  As always, there are some potential issues that need to be addressed prior to committing to a spray robot such as the MACCS 400. One potential issue with considering selective conformal coating with a robotic conformal coating system is misaligned components on the […]
