Conformal coatings are applied to printed circuit boards (PCBs) to protect them from environmental stress such as salt, corrosion, humidity, and moisture, mitigate tin whiskers, and provide a barrier to electrically insulate components. They enable design of smaller electrical assemblies, while increasing mechanical support for components, and improving the fatigue life of solder joints.

Conformal coatings are thin-layer polymers that are applied to the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs), with typical thickness between 25μm to 150μ, to protect and electrically insulate the circuits and board components from environmental stresses.

What are gap fillers, and why are they so important for electric vehicle batteries? It all comes down to heat and performance.
