How Hardware Startups Use Conformal Coating for Circuit Protection
In episode 91 of Hardware Startups with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore conformal coating — the thin protective layer that shields circuit boards from moisture, dust, and corrosion. They walk through a real example: a drone startup that lost 12% of field units to condensation before applying acrylic coating. Lucas explains the three main types (acrylic, urethane, silicone) and when to choose each, plus common application methods from manual spraying to selective robotic coating. Luna raises the gotcha: coating can trap heat and complicate rework. Listeners learn one specific decision rule —…
