How important is it to use the Correct Conformal Coating?
Choosing the right conformal coating material means selection of the right conformal coating for (i) the printed circuit board (PCB) in the field for its long term reliability and (ii) the correct conformal coating application method giving a cost effective method without affecting the performance of the conformal coating to protect the PCB. For example, application of a UV cure conformal coating like Humiseal UV40, Dymax 940LVUF gives an instantaneous cure and offers fantastic moisture and chemical protection. This would require a specialist UV conveyor and UV lamps is required for curing the UV conformal coating.
