Pat, MIL-I-46058 is the mil spec on conformal coatings. It was declared inactive for new designs in 1995. The only reason it is still around is the QPL list for it. Way outdated and it only gives a minimum set of criteria to reach and is not really a performance spec.

It has been 31 years since I played in that field, but I remember they use to have very specific requirements. Just another reference source. pat -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Douglas Pauls Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2013 8:06 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Conformal Coating and J1 / 610 Greetings Citizens of the Galactic Empire. You have all been annexed and the Republic is dissolved. You are now all my minions. If you do not have an open can of toluene on YOUR desktop, you miss out on some wonderful hallucinations. At the recent IPC Apex meetings, as the Chairman of the Cleaning and Coating groups, I was asked to tackle the conformal coat provisions in IPC-J-STD-001 and IPC-A-610. I agreed (Proof positive I am an idiot). Leave it alone Dewey. The coating groups have known for a long time that these documents need attention, and the time is right at both of those documents move towards Revision F. To assist the small working group that is/will be working on this over the next 6 months, I plan on making use of this forum to gather information. I have always been impressed by the summary wisdom of Technet. So, first question: 1. With J-STD-001 and/or IPC-A-610, what areas are NOT presently addressed, but need to be? The Death Star will be dispatched to those areas not participating.......
