6. Thickness
Coating thickness is determined by visual inspection. Thin
coatings show sharp outlines of the components and
almost no fillet at intersection points of part leads to the
circuit board. Thick coatings reduce these sharp outlines
and show fillets where part leads intersect with the board.
Coatings thinner than 0.064 cm are considered thin.
Coatings thicker than 0.064 cm are classed as thick.
The specific coating to be removed may have one or
more of these characteristics and consequently the
removal method selected should consider the composite
characteristics.
See Figure 1 for Conformal Coating Identification.
See Table 1 for Conformal Coating Characteristics.
See Table 2 for Conformal Coating Removal Methods.
