hi,

sorry if i wasn't clear about this.  what i'm looking for are ways to
seal off the pin-to-header interface so that conformal coating won't
wick up the leads and contaminate the connector pin contact (mating)
surface).

Use Type Ur per IPC-CC-830 and not AR, because UR achieves a permanent
cure, whereas AR dries and is less stable.

hi,

we are using several qss-050-01-l-d samtec surface mount connectors on a
printed wiring assembly that is conformal coated with a choice of either
an ar or a pur material.  the connector pin/header interface is not
sealed, so the conformal coating that must go under this connector has
an easy path to wick up the leads and contaminate the mating surfaces of
the connector.  what to do?

thanks,

phil
