http://www.ieee-pses.org/symposium http://www.emc2004.org/ -------------------------------------------------- Dear Group, Why is conformal coating not considering solid insulation, but rather only providing a reduction in pollution degree? If the coating were of sufficient thickness and free of trapped air, then how can creepage or clearance exist under it? Some standards even consider encapsulation or potting for providing a reduction in pollution degree, even where it provides void-free moulding over the part. Isn't encapsulation the same as the moulding on a plastic integrated circuit?
