Here at All-Spec Industries, we carry a few UV magnifiers, microscopes, and video inspection systems, but you may wonder why you would need them for PCB inspection. While normal magnifiers and microscopes can help find issues with soldering or physical damage, UV lights are often used to check PCB’s conformal coating.
A conformal coating protects PCB’s from moisture, dust, and other environmental damage by providing a chemical barrier on the board. Many conformal coatings contain a UV trace, which will glow when viewed under a UV light. Because of this, UV magnifiers and microscopes can be used to find gaps in the conformal coating, and experienced inspectors can even validate the thickness of the coating based on the intensity of the glow.

This is final post in our three part “Types of Swab Tips” blog series. Today we are going to talk about Microfiber and Polyvinyl Swabs.
Microfiber Swabs
These tips are welded to the shaft using an ultrasonic method free of adhesives. This ensures a clean tip that is low in particulates, as well as soft and non-abrasive. Microfiber swabs also have superior wipe dry characteristics.
Polyvinyl Swabs
Polyvinyl tips are very precise, allowing for pinpoint accuracy for application. The tip is also porous, allowing for picking up liquids at small targeted locations.

Have you heard of our Metro ESD Upgrade Promotion? Until the end of December 2012 we are providing a free ESD-safe upgrade with the purchase of each eligible Metro shelving kit. Now is the perfect time to order shelving to store your static sensitive products.
For any stationary Metro shelves you order you will receive a special conductive sleeve that ensures connectivity between the shelves and the posts. This allows you to easily ground your Metro shelving unit through the posts, either by positioning your shelves on ESD-safe flooring or by using a ground cord.
When ordering mobile Metro shelves you will not only receive the conductive sleeves, but you also will get a clamp-on ground cable. This ground cable will let your mobile shelves maintain connection to your ESD-safe flooring, keeping your shelving unit static safe.
Visit www.All-Spec.com or call customer service at (800) 537-0351 today to order your new Metro shelving unit and receive your free ESD-safe upgrade!
