PCB Coating Removal: Techniques, Challenges, and Best Practices
Introduction Printed Circuit Board (PCB) coating removal is a critical process in electronics manufacturing, repair, and rework. Conformal coatings are applied to PCBs to protect them from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes. However, there are numerous situations where these coatings must be removed—for component replacement, circuit modifications, failure analysis, or…
