Voltera PCBs in vacuum chamber

[DavidS]

Does anyone have any experience operating Voltera printed circuits in vacuum? I am currently developing a prototype circuit which we need to operate in a vacuum chamber. I’m especially interested in outgassing of the ink, solder paste or base boards, but I’m not too concerned about arcing or anything at this stage because the voltages are all very low.

Have you contacted Voltera Support, what did they say?
Yes, I have asked them for recommendations but would also appreciate any community knowledge.

Hello @DavidS:wave:

I think there are difficulties with using Voltera printed circuits in a vacuum, mainly with the use of ink, copper paste, and base board emissions. Low voltages reduce the possibility of sparking, but emissions may affect the vacuum purity and functionality of the circuit.

I think you should take the support from the support team. they will give suggestions based on the constraints and capabilities of their product.
