Protection and packaging

PCBs advised for acute environments generally accept a conformal coating, which is activated by dipping or spraying afterwards the apparatus accept been soldered. The covering prevents bane and arising currents or shorting due to condensation. The ancient conformal coats were wax; avant-garde conformal coats are usually dips of adulterate solutions of silicone rubber, polyurethane, acrylic, or epoxy. Another address for applying a conformal blanket is for artificial to be sputtered assimilate the PCB in a exhaustion chamber. The arch disadvantage of conformal coatings is that application of the lath is rendered acutely difficult.18

Many accumulated PCBs are changeless sensitive, and accordingly accept to be placed in antistatic accoutrements during transport. When administration these boards, the user accept to be ashore (earthed). Improper administration techniques ability address an accumulated changeless allegation through the board, damaging or antibacterial components. Even bald boards are sometimes changeless sensitive. Traces accept become so accomplished that it's absolutely accessible to draft an compose off the lath (or change its characteristics) with a changeless charge. This is abnormally accurate on non-traditional PCBs such as MCMs and bake PCBs.
