PD IEC/PAS 61249-8-1:2014

What is PD IEC/PAS 61249-8-1 - Electrical insulating compounds for printed wiring about?  

PD IEC/PAS 61249-8-1 is an international standard used for  

PD IEC/PAS 61249-8-1 This standard establishes qualification and conformance requirements for electrical insulating compounds (conformal coatings). It has been designed and constructed with the intent of obtaining maximum confidence in the materials with minimum test redundancy.  

For the purpose of PD IEC/PAS 61249-8-1, the term conformal coating is used herein when referring to a type of protective coating for use on printed wiring assemblies. The conformal coating is intended to provide protection from moisture and contamination and provide electrical insulation, not as a sole source of mechanical support. 

For the purpose of PD IEC/PAS 61249-8-1, inspections are performed on standardized test vehicles instead of real production assemblies. A standardized test vehicle refers to the test vehicle specified per the test method indicated, coated with the conformal coating under inspection. 

Note: This PD IEC/PAS 61249-8-1 covers: 

• The qualification and qualification retention of the conformal coating material (Table 3-1, Column A and B). 
• The quality conformance of conformal coating material properties (Table 3-1, Column C). 

Who is PD IEC/PAS 61249-8-1 - Electrical insulating compounds for printed wiring for? 

PD IEC/PAS 61249-8-1 on Qualification and performance of electrical insulating compound for printed wiring assemblies is useful for: 

• Manufacturer of electronic devices and equipment 
• Manufacturer of automotive parts  
• Aerospace 
• Electronic engineer 
• Electrician  

Why should you use PD IEC/PAS 61249-8-1 - Electrical insulating compounds for printed wiring?  

This insulating compound is useful for protecting the printed wires from the environment and corrosion.  

PD IEC/PAS 61249-8-1 is useful in classifying the types of conformal coating used in making insulating compounds for printed wiring. This helps in determining the requirements which are useful in conducting the test method. With the help of PD IEC/PAS 61249-8-1, you can inspect the defects and failures while manufacturing insulating compounds.  

By applying PD IEC/PAS 61249-8-1 you can ensure the quality of these insulating compounds for printed wiring which results in standardizing the manufacturing process.
