Conforming To a Higher Standard of Reliability

Conforming To a Higher Standard of Reliability

An electronic product's reliability has the potential to make or break its manufacturer and can be life-threatening in many safety critical applications. Conformal coatings have long been used to protect electronic assemblies from their operating environment but can vary hugely in their protective performance.

It is the objective of this article to explain in detail why it is important to qualify coating products to the relevant standards and how different coating types affect performance.
