    Contact Points For maximum reliability, WinSystems boards typically use connectors with gold finish contacts. It is critical that the contact material in the mating connectors is matched properly (gold to gold and tin to tin). Contact areas made with dissimilar metals can cause oxidation/corrosion, resulting in unreliable connections.
  • Page 62 Conformal Coating Applying conformal coating to a WinSystems product will not in itself void the product warranty, if it is properly removed prior to return. Coating may change thermal characteristics and impedes our ability to test, diagnose, and repair products. Any coated product sent to WinSystems for repair will be returned at customer expense and no service will be performed.
