Conformal Coatings for LED Applications

Posted by Sean Horn on Wed, Oct 30, 2013

From front to back, LEDs are improved by conformal coatings. Whether the coating is improving the LED’s color accuracy, protecting it from damage or keeping the electronics functioning well, conformal coating of LED electronics extends the suitability of LED technology. Here are the top six ways that conformal coating and LEDs go well together

Ultraviolet (UV) Stability of Parylene

Posted by Sean Horn on Wed, Oct 23, 2013

For all of Parylene’s strengths, it has one key drawback—Parylene’s resistance to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is limited. Most formulations of Parylene gradually yellow when exposed to the kind of UV light that’s produced by the sun. While this isn’t a problem when Parylene gets used to conformally coat a printed circuit board that’s sealed in […]

What is the right conformal coating for LEDs?

Posted by Sean Horn on Thu, Jun 21, 2012

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are a huge and growing even bigger segment of the electronics industry.  LEDs are expanding into environments that demand a higher level of protection in order for the LED to function properly.  One way to get this level of protection is by using conformal coating.
