Good morning all,

Another conformal coating related question.  What, from an assembly point 
of view, would you tell a board designer are good design practices to make 
an assembly coatable from an automated standpoint.

I think we would all agree that having an assembly with no keep out zones 
and a constant height for components to be the ideal.  The more holes we 
poke in the film and the farther we get from the ideal, the less we can 
automate coating.

So, what would you tell a designer to do?

Or, to put the shoe on the other hand, what kinds of things should they 
NOT do, or bad practices to avoid?

And, yes, I know It Depends.

Doug Pauls
