The most successful companies are focusing on taking control of their end-to-end supply chain with cross-functional, cross-organizational, collaborative programs such as sales and operations planning (S&OP), which is also known as sales, inventory, and operations planning (SIOP).
It is critical to sustainably remove all manufacturing contaminants during printed circuit board assembly to ensure the proper adhesion of conformal coatings.
Contaminated printed circuit board assemblies can lead to poor performance. Oils and flux residue can prevent proper adhesion of conformal coatings, while marking inks, adhesives, and other materials can cause PCB delamination, blistering, shorting, dendrite growth, and electrochemical migration. It is therefore critical to remove all leftover manufacturing contaminants and to do it in an environmentally sustainable way.
Generally speaking, the hand dispensing of resins in prototypes is not a complicated process. Optimizing several factors will aid in the development of a transparent commercialization process, with straightforward resin dispensing and industrial dispensing equipment selection, all completed in an expedited timeframe.
