Condensation Question

AllRoy · 10-19-2001, 07:58 AM

I have a quick question, I have read your guides concerning condensation prevention. If I use a Aerosol Conformal Coatings, should I also use an RTV Silicon? Also, it looks like the max temp for the conformal coating is 65C..do you think this is a problem?

Sure you can use them both, but why would you want to? A light, but even and sealing coat or 2 of RTV is all that is needed to properly seal your socket/chip. I wouldn't worry about the max temp of the stuff. Odds are it will never see 65C.
