Conformal coating streamlines rework to reduce conformal coating costs
The PlasmaShield conformal coat process prevents solids and liquids from contacting electronics, protects against vapour damage (moisture, pollutant gasses, salts), and can mitigate tin whiskers.
While traditional conformal coats are often plagued by the costs and complexities of manual masking and application processes, Semblant’s plasma deposition process can reduce or eliminate the need to mask sensitive electronics and simplifies the manufacturing process, producing a continuously uniform and pinhole-free coating. The PlasmaShield plasma deposition of thin coating simplifies rework. Coating removal is no longer required before repairing or replacing components, reducing the risk of damaging the printed circuit board (PCB) during removal process. In addition, concerns related to shelf life, potting life, curing time, and operator safety are eliminated, claims the manufacturer.
