system that competes with Aqueous in terms of quality and cost. Repairs to the machine are also very easy and, with the help of the tech depart- ment, it’s a breeze.”


“It has been our privilege to pro- vide Specialized Coating Services with cleaning and cleanliness testing sys- tems over the past several years, including additional cleaning and cleanliness test- ing products for their new Boston-area facility,” says Konrad.


Specialized Coating Services’ Billerica site helps facilitate the needs of the company’s Midwest and East Coast customers by providing quicker turn- around and reducing freight costs, as well as keeping pace with the continued growth in these areas. The 13,000 ft2 (1,208m2) facility is equipped with the latest in robotic and conventional spray systems, as well as plasma treatment, cleaning and ionic test equipment, potting and encapsulation meter mix systems, and more.

The certifications currently in place in the California facility are planned for mid-2018 in Massachu- setts, including AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015, ITAR, and ANSI/ESD S20.20, with NADCAP in early 2019. With these certifications in place on both coasts, Specialized Coating Ser- vices’ customers will know that their boards will be handled in compliance with the latest practices and proce- dures.


In addition to aqueous cleaning, the company offers minor subassem- bly of parts and focuses on spraying, robot coating, potting/encapsulation, nanocoatings, plasma treatment, ion- ic testing, and UV selection. The company also provides a range of services from assisting in the selec- tion of coating, potting or ruggediz- ing materials to providing prototypes and establishing manufacturing processes that ensure consistent quality and repeatable finishes. The Zero Ion is designed to solve the cleanliness testing chal- lenges associated with today’s circuit assemblies, and is capable of extract- ing and quantifying assembly con- tamination levels per numerous mili- tary specifications. While other cleanliness testers can only quantify contamination extracted from an as- sembly, the Zero Ion uses a cross- flow extraction process, subjecting the circuit assembly to rapid fluid currents, assisting in the extraction, solubilization and quantification of assembly residues.

It also uses dynamic measure- ment technology, which increases the accuracy of the test by maintaining test fluid sensitivity throughout the testing process, continually deioniz- ing the solution during testing. The system performs accurate cleanliness testing, without needing to heat the


test solution. Ambient temperature cleanliness testing eliminates the need for heaters, eliminating warm- up times while increasing equipment and operator safety.


The Trident automatic cleaning and defluxing system is designed to remove all contamination and residues from post-reflow circuit as-

semblies. When assembly and flux residues are removed, so is the chance for electrochemical migration (ECM) failures. Clean assemblies are more reliable assemblies. It is equipped with built-in process moni- toring technology that allows resis- tivity levels to be programmed, pro- ducing consistency in assembly cleanliness levels.


Final resistivity results are dis- played on the operator interface and must be acknowledged before the as- semblies can be removed. Results are stored in the SPC management sys- tem and may be searched and re- trieved anytime through the built-in SQL multi-query database.


The system is available in zero- and low-discharge configurations and all Trident models are available in single- and double-chamber con- figurations.


“Our mission has remained un- changed over the past 26 years — we are committed to designing, manu- facturing, selling, and supporting products that are environmentally responsible, technically relevant, ef- fective, and add reliability and value to our customers’ products,” con- cludes Konrad. “Specialized Coating Systems shares our vision by provid- ing coating services that protect their customers’ products from harsh envi- ronments, resulting in higher levels of product reliability. Our companies’ shared passion for added reliability makes for a win-win relationship.” Contact: Specialized Coating Services, 42680 Christy Street, Fremont, CA 94538  510-453-4150
