Printed Circuit Board Assembly Services: • HOW TO PREVENT CORROSION • www.ewme.com
Introducing With the advent of a data-driven economy, we all depend on complex circuit boards for everything. Learning how to build and provide printed circuit board assembly services is the central task of any technician in this field. However, the management of the systems is of even more importance. Today's blog focuses on one of the principal problems in a circuit board assembly service - corrosion. www.ewme.com
4 TIPS TO MAINTAIN • CORROSION-FREE PCB • Cleanliness and Contamination Control • Environmental Protection Measures • Material Selection and Design Considerations • Conformal Coating Application
Cleanliness and Contamination Control Indeed, one of the most overlooked causes of a dirty and corroded circuit board is the accumulation of dust and pollutants on its surface. We all know how fragile the tiny parts on a build-to-print system can be; and grime can get right into the cracks and crevices of these parts allowing for moisture to build up - essentially causing a deep level of damage that is impossible to cure.
Environmental Protection Measures Ideally, the printed circuit board should never be left out in the open where it can directly come in contact with humidity and air molecules. There are several great and affordable ways of storing a PCB so it is safe. www.ewme.com
These can include: Storing PCBs in a dry and cool place, away from direct sunlight Covering them with a shade made of corrosion-resistant materials Use anti-static bags and desiccant packets, for protection Never bring the unit close to extreme temperatures or great temperature fluctuations
Material Selection & Design Considerations During the NPI electronics manufacturing process, it is possible to keep material selection and design under strict control. In fact, this is a vital necessity if we want to protect the production quality of a PCB. www.ewme.com
Conformal Coating Application This is all about applying a clear, protective layer on top of the board components. Its job is to protect the board from moisture and dust. The application process of this coating substance is easy and quick. The layer is applied using a variety of methods, like spraying or dipping, and then it's cured in an oven to make it all hard and durable.
