Printed circuit boards are extremely susceptible to a wide range of contaminants that can significantly damage or ruin them in a relatively short period of time. These contaminants include moisture, dust, and harmful chemicals. In addition, electronic circuits are also susceptible to extreme temperatures and environments.

What is a good thickness for acrylic conformal coating?
Posted by Sean Horn on Mon, Jan 07, 2013 @ 10:57 AM
Acrylic conformal coatings, such as MG Chemicals 419C and Humiseal 1B31 are a very popular conformal coating choice. They are used primarily for moisture protection on printed circuit boards. Often times, they are the cheapest conformal coating to apply because of their easy to use nature. As a result of this, people try to apply acrylic conformal coating as a DIY project. An issue that arises frequently is an improper thickness of coating, resulting in lackluster protection.

Diamond-MT to exhibit at Farnborough Air Show July 9-12, 2012!
Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Jun 29, 2012 @ 11:25 AM
Diamond-MT is proud to announce that it will be exhibiting at the Farnborough Air Show through July 9-12, 2012. Diamond-MT will be featuring its parylene coating services and conformal coating services as well as conformal coating equipment and consultation and training services. Diamond-MT will be there to represent its interest in Nexus3C, a hub of information for the conformal coating industry.
One thing to consider is the coating house’s experience level. Developing solid procedures and processes for conformal coating take time and experience. Many new vendors claim to be able to apply conformal coating as well as the experienced guys, but fall short whenever they run into issues they do not have the experience to troubleshoot. It will be tough to get referrals from your coating house, as a lot of times they are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. A good way to evaluate their experience level would be to ask how many years they have been in business and their typical weekly, monthly, and yearly volumes processed. A visit to their facility, if warranted by the volume of the project, should give a good indication of the seriousness of their abilities.

Medical Conformal Coatings Used
While all conformal coating types can be used for different applications, for many medical devices, parylene is the way to go. Because parylene is biologically inert, FDA approval of parylene coated devices is well-documented. The coatings comply with USP Class VI plastics requirements and are MIL-I-46058C / IPC-CC-830B listed. Another benefit for medical devices such as stents and catheters is that parylene is entirely conformal, meaning that component configurations with sharp edges, points, flat surfaces, crevices or exposed internal surfaces are coated uniformly without voids or pinholes.

Conformal Coating Process – Phase 1 – Prior to Parts Arrival
Once we receive a purchase order from a customer, all of the pertinent information such as drawings, specifications, and special instructions are given to the quality department from our marketing team to create custom work instructions for that particular part. If the material to be used has not yet been determined, we work with the customer to determine the best material for their application.

WHAT ARE TIN WHISKERS
Tin whiskers are electrically conductive, crystalline structures of tin that sometimes grow from surfaces where tin (especially electroplated tin) is used as a final finish. Tin whiskers typically grow from lengths of 1-2 millimeters (mm) but have been observed to lengths in excess of 10 mm. Electronic system failures have been attributed to short circuits caused by tin whiskers that bridge closely-spaced circuit elements maintained at different electrical potentials.

How to get Repeatable Conformal Coating Thickness
Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Mar 30, 2012 @ 01:56 PM
How to get Repeatable Conformal Coating Thickness
Measuring your conformal coating thickness is one thing, however making it a reliable and repeatable thickness is something else all together. There are three main ways of conformal coating application where a repeatable thickness can be obtained, however, a fair degree of training and skills are needed to achieve this.
