How Parylene Protects Automotive Electronics

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Oct 21, 2016

High-tech electronic systems increasingly regulate automotive management functions for emissions’ controls, fuel systems, fluid monitoring, lighting, and powertrain mechanics, frequently comprised of miniaturized, multi-layer MEMS/Nano packages.  Systems’ survival in hostile vehicular environments typified by condensation, corrosive fluids and vapors, excessive temperatures, humidity and prol

How to Choose Between Potting and Conformal Coating

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Oct 14, 2016

Protection of printed circuit boards (PCBs) is most often achieved with either potting or conformal coating.  The selection of which method to use depends upon the PCB’s purpose and how much protection it requires.  Potting offers the strongest shielding barrier, but is also affected by a range of operational disadvantages that can offset its functional […]
