WORKMANSHIP STANDARD FOR POLYMERIC APPLICATION ON ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLIES

 Reference : NASA-STD-8739.1B – 2016-06-30

This is a good reference standard for staking, conformal coating, bonding, and encapsulation of PCB.

STAKING: Staking usually be performed before conformal coating and staking material should be free from contamination. 

Default Staking for Horizontally-Mounted Sleeved or Sleeveless Cylindrical Part


Single Wire Staking


Staking for Radial Lead Components


Staking for Radial Multi-lead Rectangular Components



Default Staking of a Single Vertically-Mounted Rectangular Part

General PCB Routing Techniques

For traces that don't need specific impedance or high current, a 10 mil trace width is fine for the vast majority of low-current analog ...
