Such a coating finds particular application in protecting selected flexible electrical connectors and miniature circuitry that requires mating to a rigid complementary surface under pressures in excess of 50 psi.
  • Extremely low coating thicknesses are necessary to meet two device requirements. First, to prevent electrical openings due to a lack of intimate contact between the electrical connections or contacts and the rigid circuit board to which the contacts are mated under pressure. Secondly, due to the narrow spacing between alternate electrical contacts, on the order of 5 mils, the coatings must be narrow to avoid undue compressing during mating. Under severe compression, the coating would not serve as an adequate insulator, and would cause shorting.

  • Extremely low coating thicknesses, less than 0.0007l inch, are required to prevent electrical cpenings due to a lack of intimate contact between the ends, or tabs, of the connector contacts and the corresponding contacts on the printed circuit board.
  • the coating utilized must be one which is capable of being coated to an extremely low coating thickness, and it must be one which has high electrical insulative properties to prevent shorting. Further, since pressure loads in excess of 50 psi are often used during mating of the flexible electrical connection to a rigid circuit board, the electrophoretically, deposited coating must exhibit excellent mechanical resistance under the applied pressures, i.e., it must not crack or be severely compressed during mating.

  • solvent cleaning in the present example is used to remove flux residue after soldering.
  • the coating must resist such solvents such as Freon/isopropanol mixtures.

  • the deposition mechanism for electrophoretic deposition is well known in the art, essentially a hydroxyl ion being discharged and varying the pH in the vicinity of the anode, thereby reducing the negative charge on the resin or polymer particles carried in the aqueous suspension so that the particles coagulate to form the electrophoretic coating.
  • Film formation proceeds in accordance with the theory that as anion concentration increases and water in the area of film formation decreases, the phase-volume relationship exceeds the limit for oil-in-water stability, thereby leading to film formation.

  • Preferred conditions of deposition are from 7.25 to 7.75 volts for a period of from 55 to 65 seconds.
  • the temperature of electrophoretic deposition is not critical, and any state of the art temperature can be used below the boiling point of the bath. Generally, room temperature operation is preferred as this avoids the necessity for any complicating heat or cooling means.
  • the pressure of coating is not important, and again to avoid unnecessary equipment operation is at atmospheric pressure.
  • the coated article is removed from the electrophoretic bath, washed to remove excess material adhering thereto, and baked to harden or fuse the polymeric coating blend, typically for from I to 2 hours at 102 to 140C.
  • These ranges are non-limiting, and the only important parameters to consider with respect to the baking time/temperature are that the upper temperature limit must not be so high as to destroy adhesives used in forming laminated materials which are coated, and that the lower limit be sufficient to fuse the coating.
  • An electrophoretic coating composition was prepared by mixing 50 grams of Suryln DD-l230 (40% solids by weight) and 50 grams of Ciba Araldite PR- 805 (40% solids by weight).
