| High-Reliability Cleaning and Conformal Coating Conference |
November 13–15, 2012 | Crowne Plaza Hotel-O’Hare in Chicago, Illinois |
This event is focused on electronics assembly reliability and the influence of cleaning and coating on the production of reliable hardware.
“How clean is clean?” is even more challenging to answer: conductors and circuit traces are growing narrower and what is acceptably clean for one industry segment may be unacceptable in others.
A half-day workshop will be followed by a two-day technical conference, that will include tabletop exhibits, luncheons, and a networking reception.
Workshop
Tuesday, November 13, 8:00 am–12:00 pm
Conformal Coatings: Types, Uses and Specifications
Doug Pauls, Rockwell Collins and Jason Keeping, Celestica
Learn the basics of conformal coating and coating processes. Suitable for anyone new to conformal coating, this workshop introduces the fundamentals and assumes no prior knowledge of coatings. Topics will include popular myths and misconceptions as well as common causes of coating problems. The second half of the workshop is dedicated to discussion about conformal coating in the manufacturing environment.
What You Will Learn
- Conformal coating uses
- Coating types and specifications
- Engineering trade-offs
- Selecting a conformal coating
Your Instructors
Doug Pauls is the Rockwell Collins expert-on-call for conformal coatings. He currently serves as Chairman of the IPC Cleaning and Coating Committee and has been involved in these processes for more than 25 years. Pauls has been a part of MIL-I-46058, IPC-CC-830 and the development and revision of the IPC handbook on conformal coating, IPC-HDBK-830.
Jason Keeping is Celestica’s subject-matter expert for all ruggedized electronic processes including underfill, potting, assembly cleaning and conformal coating. He currently serves as the co-chair of the IPC Conformal Coating Handbook Task Group responsible for developing IPC-HDBK-830 and has been involved in the sector for more than 12 years.
Pauls and Keeping also currently serve on several IPC committees responsible for key IPC standards such as IPC-HDBK-850, IPC-CH-65 and J-STD-030 and the qualification and specification of conformal coating materials, IPC-CC-830. Both are humorous and entertaining speakers who deliver technical concepts in easy-to-understand terms.
