[exclusive]: Chipdip

If a manufacturer sprays the entire board, the light output from the LEDs drops by 15% due to optical absorption in the coating. Worse, the coating on the resistor solder joints cracks after 500 thermal cycles.

Vision-guided ChipDip can now process 10,000 components per hour, with a positional accuracy of ±50 microns. ChipDip is not a replacement for full conformal coating. If your board operates in a salt fog chamber or underwater, you need full encapsulation. But for the vast middle ground—automotive, industrial controls, consumer electronics, and medical devices—ChipDip offers the perfect balance: protection where you need it, access where you don't. chipdip

In the fast-paced world of electronics manufacturing, where component sizes shrink to nanoscale and board densities rival city blocks, the smallest details often determine product longevity. While soldering and pick-and-place machines grab the headlines, a quiet, reliable process called ChipDip is playing a crucial role in protecting modern circuitry. If a manufacturer sprays the entire board, the

The next time you design a mixed-technology board with sensitive connectors, optical components, or high-reliability requirements, ask your CM about ChipDip. It may be the simplest solution you never knew you needed. About the author: This article was compiled from industry best practices and technical datasheets from leading conformal coating suppliers. Always consult your material data sheet (MDS) for specific application parameters. ChipDip is not a replacement for full conformal coating
