Protecting Printed Circuit Boards
The Benefits of Conformal Coatings on Electronic Devices
Manuel Dominguez - Engineering Sales Representative, Ellsworth Adhesives
Consumers expect their electronics to take a lot of abuse, yet device durability is ultimately about how well internal electronics have been protected. Destructive factors include moisture, vapor, corrosive solutions, sand and dust, as well as mechanical and thermal stress from vibration, impact and temperature extremes. Engineered solutions for these common hazards routinely implement conformal coatings to protect the sensitive printed circuit boards (PCBs) that are inside devices.
