PCBs (printed circuit boards) are subjected to many harsh environmental conditions. This includes extreme temperatures, strong chemicals, corrosive salts, dust and moisture. Therefore, encapsulating them with a protective conformal coating makes sense. Conformal coatings keep harmful elements from touching the delicate components and degrading the performance of the boards. However, for optimum PCB longevity, functionality…

Engineers design minimum and maximum tolerances into almost every component, defining the allowable dimensional variation any component can carry. Stacked tolerances — when the accumulated tolerances restrict free movement — are a risk with multi-part mechanical assemblies caused when all of the components are at the high end of their dimensional limits. Modern cleaning and…
All electronics wipes are not created equal. To ensure cleanliness standards are kept within a cleanroom environment, wipes are an essential tool. They need to meet exacting criteria, especially when in a controlled environment. Any contamination must be eliminated from both the items being manufactured and from the manufacturing tools and equipment themselves. Wipes play…
As medical devices become smaller and more complex, designers and manufacturers are utilizing new and more sophisticated components to incorporate into their device designs. Patients want smaller, more portable devices while providers want more functional and better performing alternatives. This includes items such as IV tubes and bags, drainage catheters, dialysis machine tubing and a…
