Hi Bogert! Sorry but I respectfully disagree. If the contract requires the
assembly to be conformal coating and provides no other process guidance
then I would process the assembly in accordance with best industry
practice/accepted material process practice for the particular conformal
coating material specified. As other TechNettees have documented,
intentionally forcing AR or UR conformal coating under a component is not
standard conformal coating practice as the such an action results in
degraded component/product integrity due to CTE mismatch for many use
environments. However, if I was using a paralyene conformal coating,
standard material process practice is quite the opposite - paralyene
conformal coating is design to coat all pwa surfaces. The application
process for each conformal coating material dictates how/where it should be
applied unless there are specific instruction that deviate from standard
practice (such as a specific exclusion area for RF, etc.).

If the contract assembly drawing requires the assembly to be conformal
coated, unless it also allows the area under the BGA to be free of coating,
then you are in violation of the contract drawing regardless of what 610
says or does not say.

  Hi Joe - Your statement......." type AR or type UR does not coat the BGA
  solder balls/solder connections located under the BGA so you are
violating
  the acceptability requirements in IPC-A-610" has me some confused. What
  IPC-A-610 requirement is violated?

  Vered,

  I would start with IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001 documents. One item that is
over
  looked is that spraying a board with for example type AR or type UR does
  not
  coat the BGA solder balls/solder connections located under the BGA so you
  are violating the acceptability requirements in IPC-A-610!

  Good luck,
  - Joe

  looking for reviews/articles or case studies regarding conformal coating
on
  BGA
  for military/aerospace environment
  Appreciate any comment or sharing your experiance
  Thanks
