Dymax 9771 Conformal Coating is Now NASA MAPTIS Listed
March 24, 2022 | Globe NewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Dymax, leading manufacturer of rapid light-curing materials and equipment, is pleased to announce that its one-of-a-kind light-curable conformal coating, 9771, for use on critical printed circuit boards in missiles, satellites, and spacecraft has received a prestigious NASA MAPTIS material number, 09841.
As a result, 9771 is now recorded in the approved materials database used by NASA and suppliers. The importance of this listing is that NASA has independently verified the coating to meet ASTM E595 and allows people looking for low outgassing materials to find the product more easily.
NASA low outgassing ASTM E595 test method is a screening procedure to determine the volatile content of materials when exposed to a vacuum environment. The test is run at 125°C (257°F) under a 5 X 10-5 Torr vacuum for 24 hours. The Total Mass Loss (TML %) and Collected Condensable Volatile Material (CVCM %) are measured. CVCM is of particular interest as it might be indicative of loss of electrical continuity, or some other effect caused by material being deposited where it is not intended.
In conjunction with the NASA material number, dispense guidelines have been established to ensure that a consistent coating thickness of 50.8-101.6µm (0.002-0.004”) is achieved. Dymax recommends applying the conformal coating using a PVA Delta 6 Selective Coating/Dispense System with FCS300 series valve. The Dymax team of Applications Engineers are available to customers through every step of their project to ensure successful outcomes.
9771 is a reworkable conformal coating that cures with light and moisture to ensure material that flows underneath components on PCBs fully cures. The product has low ionic content compliance with MIL Std 883 Method 5011, UL 94 V0 flammability rating, and is UL 746E recognized.

Effects of Advanced Packaging and Stackup Design
12/26/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamKris Moyer teaches several PCB design classes for IPC and Sacramento State, including advanced PCB design. His advanced design classes take on some really interesting topics, including the impact of a designer’s choice of advanced packaging upon the design of the layer stackup. Kris shares his thoughts on the relationship between packaging and stackup, what PCB designers need to know, and why he believes, “The rules we used to live by are no longer valid.”
The Knowledge Base: The Era of Advanced Packaging
12/23/2024 | Mike Konrad -- Column: The Knowledge BaseThe semiconductor industry is at a pivotal juncture. As the traditional scaling predicted by Moore's Law encounters significant physical and economic barriers, transistor density can no longer double every two years without escalating costs and complications. As a result, the industry is shifting its focus from chip-level advancements to innovative packaging and substrate technologies. I Invited Dr. Nava Shpaisman, strategic collaboration manager at KLA, to provide some insight.
