An electronic device (100) comprises a circuit carrying substrate (300) having an electronic circuit pattern (301) formed thereon, at least one component (302) having leads (304) for electrically coupling the at least one component (302) to the electronic circuit pattern (301) formed on the circuit carrying substrate (300), and a thermoplastic coating (200, 200') for covering the leads (304) of the at least one component (302) to insulate the leads (304) thereof.

Solid phase conformal coating suitable for use with electronic devices

A method and apparatus for underencapsulating a component (502) on a substrate (402). The method robotically places an underencapsulant film (406) on at least one surface of a first surface of the component (502) and a second surface of a substrate (402), the first and second surfaces substantially opposing each other when the component (502) is placed on the substrate (402). Next, the method places the component (502) on the substrate (402) to dispose the underencapsulant film (406) between the first and second surfaces. The method then bonds (1006,1008 or 1006,1010) the component (502) to the substrate (402) with the underencapsulant (406).
