The peelable mask helps safeguard vital areas of a printed circuit board (PCB) during multiple steps of the manufacturing process. Specific components of PCB boards need to remain uncovered. Consequently, the mask is used to cover areas where solder, chemical, or other built-up surface coatings need to be applied on PCB boards. This safety shield helps protect the sensitive sections of the printed circuit board from materials that are antimicrobial or unwanted during the wave soldering, conformal coating, and surface finishing steps of the manufacturing process. The material that makes the peelable masks is flexible and heat resistant and can withstand the high temperatures used in soldering processes. This material, when applied, forms an effective barrier and can protect connectors, test points, and holes. It can also protect other sensitive sections of an electronic device from the soldering processes. This protection can prevent a solder bridge, contamination, or excess coating, which can impair the functionality of the PCB and cause management issues.
