Conformal coatings are applied to printed circuit boards (PCBs) to protect them from environmental stress such as salt, corrosion, humidity, and moisture, mitigate tin whiskers, and provide a barrier to electrically insulate components. They enable design of smaller electrical assemblies, while increasing mechanical support for components, and improving the fatigue life of solder joints.
Conformal coatings are thin-layer polymers that are applied to the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs), with typical thickness between 25μm to 150μ, to protect and electrically insulate the circuits and board components from environmental stresses.
What are gap fillers, and why are they so important for electric vehicle batteries? It all comes down to heat and performance.
The use of thermally conductive polymers has been accelerating in recent years. This growth is being driven by increased demand and technical advances in applications.
At one point in your life, you’ve probably experienced the disappointment of having a favorite object or gadget come apart because the pieces weren’t joined together very well.
