Section 1.0 Definition of Terms

Sonybond is a one component sealant/adhesive which

cures to form a tough, permanently flexible rubber to make a
rigid bond between components and PCB Assembly.

It is used to ensure that the components are anchored to

the PCB assembly during harsh environment the power supply is
to undergo.

Section 4.0 Criteria of Acceptance

4.1 Adhesive should be flow from the half(50%) of the component

down to the PCB component side to anchor it permanently.

4.2 Refer to the Work Instruction Sheet(WIS) for the correct location
of the PCB assembly where and what type of adhesive should be used.

Section 5.0 Definition of Terms

Conformal coating is a protective non conductive dielectric
layer that is applied onto the printed circuit board assembly to
protect the electronic assembly from damage due to
contamination, salt spray, moisture, fungus, dust and corrosion
caused by harsh or extreme environments.

Section 6.0 Conformal Coating Step

a) Board is cleaned.
b) Protected areas like terminal pins, connectors are masked off or
removed.
c) Coating is applied using any suitable method on both sides of the PCB
and its edges.
d) Coating is cured using oven according to the coating type.
e) Masking is removed and any removed parts are reassembled.
f) Board undergoes full production testing to ensure
functionality of board is not affected by the process.

Section 7.0 Method of Application

7.1 DIP METHOD: This method, in which the masked

assembly is immersed in a tank of liquid coating material and withdrawn,
ensures uniform coverage and predictable, repeatable film thickness.The
assembly should be immersed slowly to allow the coating material to
displace the air surrounding components, remain immersed until bubbling
has ceased, and then withdrawn.

7.2 SPRAY METHOD: Spraying, manual or robotic, is the most

popular and the fastest method for applying conformal coatings. With the proper
combination of solvent dilution, nozzle pressure, and pattern, reliable and consistent
results are obtainable

Revision No. : 00 Page 11 of 13

7.3 BRUSH METHOD: Brushing is the least efficient application

method because of difficulty in achieving uniform coverage (hence, uniform coating
thickness) and controlling bubbling. While this operator dependent method is not
practical for high-volume production, it is suited to short run, prototype and touch-up
after repair/rework. Particular attention should be paid to the underside of
components and lead wires. Care must be exercised to avoid deposit of brush fibers
in the coating.

Section 8.0 Conformal coating Requirement

8.1 UV Light: To check the presence or absence of conformal

coating film onto the PCB assembly.
8.2 Exhaust: To vacuum the smell of conformal coating
chemical away from the work area.
8.3 PPE’s : Personal Protective Equipment such as
facemask,goggles, aprons and gloves to protect the operator from
abrasive chemicals

Section 9.0 Housekeeping & Other Guidelines

9.1 Conduct housekeeping regularly.

9.2 Ensure the presence of tools/equipment as per WIS.

9.3 Check the presence of Work Instruction Sheet(WIS) prior

operation.If in doubt, ask the help of your superiors and/or the
support group.

9.4 Check if tools, jigs & equipment are within the prescribed
preventive maintenance schedule or calibration
schedule.
