Effect of Silicone Contamination on Assembly Processes

Silicone contamination is known to have a negative impact on assembly processes such as soldering, adhesive bonding, coating, and wire bonding. In particular, silicone is known to cause de-wetting of materials from surfaces and can result in adhesive failures. There are many sources for silicone contamination with common sources being mold releases or lubricants on manufacturing tools, offgassing during cure of silicone paste adhesives, and residue from pressure sensitive tape. This ...

Effect of Silicone Conformal Coating on Surface Insulation Resistance (SIR) For Printed Circuit Board Assemblies

Conformal coatings are considered a method of providing corrosion protection to electrical assemblies used in high-humidity or harsh environments. They are applied to PCBs for various reasons: to protect from moisture and contamination, to minimize dendritic growth, to provide stress relief, and for insulation resistance. These contribute to more durable handling, enhanced device reliability, and reduced warranty costs. Increased miniaturization of new circuit board designs requires ...

Addressing Silicone Contamination Issues

Since adhesives and sealants must function by surface attachment, the nature and condition of the substrate
surface are critical to the success of any bonding or sealing operation. One of the most important parameters
is surface cleanliness or the absence of contaminants that can impair adhesion. There are many sources of
possible contamination to worry about. Some of these are indicated in Table 1, but the list is ...

Anyone knows how to convert JUKI JX series power input from 240VAC 3phrase to 415V VAC? --

Koh young debugging -- I've bought a used ky 8030 spi that has a software fault. I've got the software restore from Koh Young but i can get any debugging info to see if the hardware works. I assume win mcs is the interface to the hardware but all the debugging options are greyed out. Does any one know a way to get diagnostic info so I can which parts are working and which parts aren't?
