Hi Folks: My company is beginning to be asked by several customers for conformal coating on their PCB assemblies. We are currently building to IPC-A-610 using a combination of SMT and T/H technology in a no-clean manufacturing process flow. From my old PCB days, I remember problems with PCB cleanliness and conformal coating peeling off the PCB surface. What are folks using today for a conformal coating in a no-clean manufacturing environment? Do I need to worry about cleanliness at all today? With RoHS and lead-free processing/PCB finishes how are surface contamination levels affected?? I'm just looking for some basic information to point me in the right direction.....rather not have to re-invent the wheel. Thought this would be the perfect forum for this type of question!!!! Thanks in advance for any help and guidance you folks may provide!!!!!!! Sincerely, William E.
