Silicone conformal coating,Red 200ml

RS PRO Modified Silicone Conformal Coating

The RS PRO modified silicone conformal coating is specially formulated for the protection of your electronic circuits. Once cured, it is resistant to a wide range of solvents, lubricants and cooling fluids putting your mind at ease. All models are highly reliable and excellent quality. These protective coatings are supplied as aerosols which are more cost effective and gives excellent tip coverage to the components.
Options available:
494-714 - Silicone Conformal Coating, Clear 200 ml Aerosol
831-141 - Silicone Conformal Coating, Red 200 ml Aerosol

Features and Benefits:

• Excellent electrical properties and protection in humid environments
• Excellent resistance to mould growth UV light and to prolonged tropical exposure/salt spray
• Low oxygen permeability
• Provides excellent in-service protection for circuitry and PCBs at a typical coating thickness of 0·025-0·05 mm
• (494-714) Clear coating is approved to DEF STAN 59//47 issue 4 and UL 746C-QMJU2
• (831-141) Red opaque coating provides camouflage of PCB design

Typical Applications

• Protective coatings like this RS PRO conformal coating, is a thin polymeric film applied to a printed circuit board (PCB) in order to protect the board and its components from the environment and to prevent corrosion. The protective coating is designed to cover and protect solder joints, the leads of electronic components, exposed traces, and other metallised areas from corrosion, ultimately extending the working life of the PCB. Conformal coatings are used in many different types of applications where high performance and reliability are needed including.
• Automotive
• Military
• Aerospace
• Marine
• Lighting
• Industrial
• Mobile electronics

FAQs

Why do I need a Conformal Coating?
Printed circuit board performance can be affected due to moisture, chemicals, salt stray and temperature extremes. A protective coating can be used in order to protect printed circuit boards and their components and ultimately prevent corrosion and failure.
