Abstract
Abstract Method and manufacture for electrically insulating base material used for perforated plated-through printed circiut panels with a metal core. The method includes applying a radiation-curable layer of insulating material to the preperforated metal core by an electrostatic spray method and precuring by irradiation or heat, coating with a further thin, thermally curable layer of insulating material by electrophoresis, drying the layer by heating and likewise partially curing it so that it is no longer capable of flowing, but yet is still reactive, optionally applying further curable insulating layers, and finally, fully thermally curing the entire coating of insulating material. The coatings obtained are impervious and are of uniform thickness even at the hole walls.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
A method for producing an electrically insulating base material for a perforated plate-through printed circuit panel, comprising: (a) applying a layer of first curable insulating material by electrostatically spraying said material onto a panel having perforations, said layer covering at least one surface of said panel and covering hole walls formed by said perforations; (b) partially curing said insulating material to an extent sufficient to prevent substantial flowing of said material at an elevated temperature; (c) applying, by means of an aqueous, electrophoretically operating dip-lacquering bath, a layer of second curable insulating material over said layer of first material, said second material being thermally curable and present in an amount sufficient to effect sealing of said layer of first material; (d) drying and thereafter partially curing said second material by crosslinking to an extent sufficient to prevent flowing of said second material; and (e) completely curing said layers.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
148 words
A method for producing an electrically insulating base material for a perforated plate-through printed circuit panel, comprising: (a) applying a layer of first curable insulating material by electrostatically spraying said material onto a panel having perforations, said layer covering at least one surface of said panel and covering hole walls formed by said perforations; (b) partially curing said insulating material to an extent sufficient to prevent substantial flowing of said material at an elevated temperature; (c) applying, by means of an aqueous, electrophoretically operating dip-lacquering bath, a layer of second curable insulating material over said layer of first material, said second material being thermally curable and present in an amount sufficient to effect sealing of said layer of first material; (d) drying and thereafter partially curing said second material by crosslinking to an extent sufficient to prevent flowing of said second material; and (e) completely curing said layers.
