Abstract:
A method of curing an applied sealing material on a printed circuit board, comprising:providing a base having a surface having a radius of curvature including one of a convex radius of curvature and a concave radius of curvature for mounting said printed circuit board thereon; providing at least two clamping elements for use with the base; providing at least two retaining elements for use with the base and the at least two clamping elements; placing said printed circuit board on the base; engaging at least two edges of said printed circuit board with a portion of a clamping element of said at least two clamping elements; conforming said printed circuit board to the surface of the base, said printed circuit board having a radius of curvature including one of a convex radius of curvature and a concave radius of curvature of at least a portion thereof as a result of conforming to the surface of the base, the radius of curvature of the base opposite the radius of curvature of said printed circuit board; securing said at least two retaining elements to the base; applying a sealing material to said base; and curing said applied sealing material.
