Green solder masks are the most commonly used in electronics manufacturing.
One popular alternative to solder mask is conformal coating. It is a thin protective film applied to the surface of a PCB to protect it from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and chemicals.
One important aspect of PCBs is the solder mask, a layer of coating applied over the copper traces to prevent solder bridges, solder splashes and electrical shorts.
The green mask is applied to the PCB after the solder paste is deposited and reflowed onto the copper contacts.
One of the main disadvantages of solder mask is that it can increase the overall cost of PCB production.
Solder mask is a material that is applied to a printed circuit board (PCB) to protect the board's copper traces from oxidation and to prevent solder bridges from forming between closely spaced components.
