What can be used as electrical contact cleaner?

We recommend choosing a solvent engineered specifically for contact cleaning. Other solvent cleaners an be used, but be aware or the following factors: Spray force - Aerosol cleaners are generally used next...

How do I desolder with solder wick / desoldering braid?

Step 1: place the wick over the solder to be removed and then place the hot soldering iron over the braid. Step 2: Place the tip at an angle that maximizes heat transfer through the braid to the solder. next...

How do you apply conformal coating to a printer circuit board (PCB)?

Prepare the PCB: Ensure the PCB is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants. Clean it using an appropriate PCB cleaning solution or isopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt, flux residues, or other impurities next...

How long does conformal coating take to dry / cure?

The drying and curing time of conformal coatings can vary depending on the type of coating used and the environmental conditions. Conformal coatings are applied to protect electronic components from next...

What is in "canned air" duster?

Dusters use compressed propellant that when released, spray out with enough force to dislodge dust and other loose contaminents. When these contaminants get in the way of vents or fans within the device, next...

What is the difference between full cure and tack-free cure?

Full cure is when it meets all the final specifications. There might be some out-gassing, but it will be as hard as it is going to be, and adhesion is as good as it gets. Tack-free is as the name suggests, next...

Does conformal coating protect against ESD (static)?

While conformal coatings can offer some level of protection against ESD by providing a barrier between the sensitive electronic components and the surrounding environment, they are not specifically next...

Is conformal coating waterproof?

While conformal coatings can offer a moisture resistant layer of protection, most cannot be considered waterproof. Even if applied heavily, most coatings are semi-permeable, so allow some amount of next...

How do you use air duster (canned air)?

The can of duster must be held in an upright position when spraying. Do not tilt can more than 40 degrees during spraying operation or shake during use. Before use, press actuator to clear valve of any next...

Are there differences between air dusters (canned air)?

There are different options for duster propellant: HFC-134a – Nonflammable, most common for industrial applications when spraying energized circuits because of the risk of a spark lighting a flammable next...
