Conformal Coatings




The fact that silicone products can affect sensitive electrical and electronic components is not a recent statement. Nowadays, almost all relay producers are writing on their technical datasheets that silicones should be avoided on their relays. However, these disclaimers do not consider recent developments in the field or potential designs that can prevent contamination issues with silicones.

The purpose of this article is not to hide potential issues, but to establish the facts and dispel the myths. It is aimed to clarify the situation by classifying and categorizing the different cases and their potential solutions.
