A basic definition of a conformal coating is a coating, which is applied to the PCB surface and “conforms” to the various irregularities and contours of components at an even and consistent thickness. This of course means that, as an example, applying 50 microns of dry coating would be measured at 50 microns on flat sections, vertical sections, and corners of components. Since nearly all commercial conformal coatings are applied as liquids, it is in fact quite challenging if not impossible to apply a coating in a truly uniform thickness across all the areas.
