For a conformal coating to be effective in protecting a circuit board it should be applied evenly over the circuit board assembly and it should have good adhesion. Otherwise, the circuit may suffer an early failure in the field. For

Plasma cleaning is a process that is gaining more popularity in thin film applications due its highly effective performance on cleaning and modifying surfaces. What is Plasma? Plasma is an energy-rich gas state that can be used to modify the
Why cleaning “no clean” flux residues from a circuit board assembly can be difficult and how to get it right
Author: Dr Lee Hitchens So why is no clean flux so difficult to clean? Cleaning no clean flux residues is one of the most complex processes when considering cleaning. No clean fluxes are by definition harder to clean than conventional
Why is adhesion important for conformal coatings?
The durability and performance of conformal coatings can depend on two basic properties. These are the cohesion and the adhesion of the coating. Cohesion is the inner strength of a material and is associated with the strength of the molecular
