C-MAC MicroTechnology introduces conformal coating service to further enhance independent Test House
May 2007 – C-MAC MicroTechnology, a world leader in high-reliability electronic systems, modules and components for the aerospace, automotive, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, 1st June 2007 – C-MAC MicroTechnology, a world leader in high-reliability electronic systems, modules and components for the aerospace, automotive, High-reliablity Industrial, medical electronics and specialised communications markets, today announced the addition of a conformal coating service to its ISO 17025 accredited Test House. The new service will be competitively priced and will allow C-MAC to provide a complete solution for the protection and test of printed circuit board assemblies, hybrid modules and other electronic components employed in harsh environments. C-MAC has a long pedigree in the test and manufacture of electronics intended for use in harsh environments.
Conformal coating with a translucent acrylic or polyurethane material is vital for the long-term reliability of electronic systems and offers excellent protection from condensation and airborne contaminates. The coating is applied by either dipping or spraying with meticulous attention to cleanliness, which ensures complete protection. Conformal coating is an essential service for companies that design and manufacture electronic systems for applications in environments with high moisture content, such as systems deployed offshore for the oil and gas industry. The service is also of particular interest to companies supplying electronics into applications that are susceptible to environmental degradation, including electronics used in the military, aerospace, medical electronics and automotive markets.
Indro Mukerjee, CEO commented, “The conformal coating service further establishes C-MAC’s focus on leading the way in high-reliability electronic systems, modules and components for the automotive, medical electronics, specialised communications, offshore and aerospace industries. Providing a high quality conformal coating service in the UK is rare, combined with our expertise in manufacturing high reliability electronics, we believe we are uniquely positioned to provide a testing service of the highest quality.”
The conformal coat supplements C-MAC’s wide range of ISO 17025 accredited test methods including temperature cycle and thermal shock; high humidity; salt mist and salt corrosion; high and low temperature storage; and insulation resistance.
