    Solder Mask

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Solder Mask.
    Shield circuit boards from flux, solder, conformal coatings, and high temperatures. Heat resistant up to 640° F, solder mask is most often used to protect open through-holes and components during wave soldering. Solder mask can also act as a short-term adhesive to keep parts in place when you’re soldering a two-sided SMT circuit board. An alternative to masking tapes that require cutting to shape, solder mask flows easily into small spaces and doesn’t leave a residue when removed.
    Wash-Away Removal—Choose wash-away solder mask if you use a water-based cleaning process such as a batch or in-line cleaning system.
    Peel-Away Removal—Choose peel-away solder mask if you use a solvent-based cleaning process or don’t clean your circuit boards.
    15 min. Overall Dry Time—Solder mask with a 15-min. overall dry time cures more evenly than peel-away solder mask with a one-hr. overall dry time, so it can be applied in thick layers. It's also nonflammable.
    1 hr. Overall Dry Time—Peel-away solder mask with a one-hr. overall dry time produces low odors because it doesn’t contain ammonia. Wash-away solder mask with a one-hr. overall dry time is nonflammable. It's not completely water soluble, so it can’t be used in closed-loop cleaning systems.
    2 hr. Overall Dry Time—Solder mask with a two-hr. overall dry time is completely water soluble for use in closed-loop cleaning systems. It's slightly flammable.

    Conformal Coatings

    Pen

    These coatings protect circuit boards and other electronics from moisture, dust, and static. They’re thinner than potting compounds, so they flow into the smallest contours of your components to cover them completely. Apply these coatings without needing a potting box or other container. You can remove them if necessary.
    Acrylic Plastic—Acrylic plastic coatings are our thinnest option, so they’re the easiest to apply. They’ll also come off the easiest when you have to rework or repair your component—just use a solvent. These coatings dry in a day or less.
    Silicone/Acrylic Plastic—Silicone/acrylic plastic coatings combine the flexibility and temperature resistance of silicone with the thinness of acrylic for easy application. Use them in the environments you’d use silicone coatings, such as high-vibration and high-temperature areas.
    Pen—Coatings in a pen are best for precise application. Use them to repair scratches and chips on components, or touch up areas you missed while coating. They’re also good for blocking off areas you don’t want solder to flow into.
    Ultraviolet—Coatings with ultraviolet visibility show up under a black light, so you can easily check if you’ve applied them evenly.
    IPC-CC-830—Coatings that meet IPC-CC-830 are certified for use on circuit boards.
    UL 94 V-0—Coatings that meet UL 94 V-0 have passed a test for flame retardance.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Coatings that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted due to VOCs (volatile organic compounds) regulations.

    Masking Tape for Electronics

    Use this tape to wrap and splice cables or to mask components while soldering. It dissipates heat and is an excellent electrical insulator.
    Acrylic Plastic Adhesive—Tape with acrylic adhesive resists solvents and chemicals, so it’s often used in labs.
    Silicone Adhesive—Tape with silicone adhesive withstands higher temperatures than tape with acrylic adhesive. It holds fast on engines, generators, and other machines that produce heat.
    ASTM E595—Tape that meets ASTM E595, a standard set by NASA, will produce almost no volatile emissions, even in a high vacuum. It's a great choice for use around your most sensitive electronics.
