Dear Mr. Tom Tillander, I would be glad if my experience will be helpful for the second half of your question dated October 31 with your subject "UL CONFORMAL COATING". >How do you measure the thickness of the coating to ensure UL >compliance? The comment I received from UL engineer last month was as follows- "The minimum and maximum thicknesses indicated would be based on the average thickness of the base film and solder resist(coverlay) minus the average thickness of the base film by itself" It was very simple one. Where my question was- "Although we understand that you(UL) regard ink resists as one of Coverlay materials, we would like to comment the measurement results of ink resist thickness varies. The measurement method you are using or recommend will be appreciated." In addition, as our products are Flexible Printed Circuits only, our UL applications are for our FPCs.
