Killer Coatings

DfR's column in the June issue of Global SMT and Packaging (you will need to register) focuses on good conformal coatings gone bad. The column discusses the four ways coatings can kill (trapping of internal residues / material incompatibility / mechanical loads / concentrating external contaminants), how to avoid these problems, and how some newer coating technologies now on the market may revolutionize the conformal coating market.
