Conformal Coatings Shield Marine Electronics in Harsh Environments
Marine electronics endure some of the harshest environmental conditions on the planet and those conditions threaten their longevity and performance. Relentless saltwater exposure can cause moisture ingress and corrosion, which can lead to short circuits. Extreme temperature fluctuations result in thermal stress, and vibration and mechanical shock induce breakdowns in electronic systems. Protective conformal coatings... Read More >>
The Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation with Parylene-Protected Pulsed Field Ablation Devices
The human heart beats somewhere around 100,000 times a day and generally does so with amazing reliability. The workings of the cardiac conduction system, the special electrical system of the heart that causes its various portions to contract in a top-to-bottom rhythm, enable the heart to pump blood throughout the entire body1. For each heartbeat,... Read More >>
Navigating Conformal Coating Removal: Methods and Materials
Conformal coatings safeguard electronic components from environmental hazards, including exposure to moisture, chemicals and other contaminants. However, there may come a time when a protective coating must be removed for repairs or modifications to the component. Liquid conformal coatings such as acrylics, silicones or urethane are often utilized when frequent rework or board repairs are... Read More >>
