Coating is used in aerospace PCBs

Aerospace electronics operate in some of the harshest environments—extreme temperatures, rapid pressure changes, vibration, and exposure to moisture or contaminants. Because of these conditions, Conforme coating is essential in aerospace PCB-assemblage en SMT-assemblage to ensure long-term reliability and safety.

Most commonly used coatings in aerospace

There is no single universal coating, but the following types are most widely used in aerospace Turnkey PCB-assemblage:

Parylene coating (top choice for critical systems)
Parylene is often considered the gold standard for aerospace applications.

• Ultra-thin, uniform, and pinhole-free coating (via vapor deposition)
• Excellent dielectric strength for high-reliability circuits
• Superior moisture and chemical resistance
• Performs well in extreme temperatures and vacuum conditions

Because of its reliability, parylene is commonly used in satellites, avionics, and mission-critical systems. The main drawback is its high cost and complex processing.

Silicone conformal coating (widely used)
Silicone Conforme coating is another popular choice in aerospace PCB-assemblage.

• Excellent thermal stability (wide temperature range)
• Flexible → withstands vibration and thermal cycling
• Good moisture resistance
• Strong performance in high-altitude environments

Silicone is often used in avionics, control systems, and power electronics where flexibility and temperature resistance are important.

Polyurethane coating (for chemical resistance)
Polyurethane coatings are used when chemical exposure is a concern.

• Good dielectric strength
• Strong resistance to fuels, solvents, and chemicals
• Durable in harsh industrial-like aerospace environments

However, they are less flexible than silicone and harder to rework.

Epoxy coating (for mechanical durability)
Epoxy Conforme coating is sometimes used for:

• Hoge mechanische sterkte
• Excellent adhesion and environmental resistance

But it is rigid, which makes it less suitable for applications with high vibration or thermal cycling.

Why aerospace requires advanced coatings

In aerospace SMT-assemblage, coatings must address:

• Extreme temperature fluctuations (from very low to very high)
• Low pressure and vacuum conditions
• High vibration and mechanical stress
• Moisture and condensation during ground operations
• Long service life with minimal maintenance

Conforme coating helps prevent corrosion, electrical leakage, and failure under these demanding conditions.

Standards and quality requirements

Aerospace coatings typically need to meet strict industry standards, such as:

• IPC-CC-830 (qualification and performance of coatings)
• MIL-I-46058 (military specification, now largely replaced but still referenced)

These standards are often required in certified Turnkey PCB-assemblage processes for aerospace customers.

Conclusie

The most commonly used coatings in aerospace PCBs are parylene en silicone conformal coatings, with polyurethane and epoxy used in specific cases. In high-reliability PCB-assemblage, SMT-assemblage, en Turnkey PCB-assemblage, coating selection depends on environmental conditions, mechanical stress, and performance requirements. For mission-critical aerospace systems, reliability always outweighs cost.
