a. Apply varnish to either totally assembled equipment or<br />

to subassemblies prior to installation in their next higher<br />

assembly; whichever will ensure that all fixed electrical<br />

connections are adequately coated. Parts which require<br />

treatment and cannot be properly coated after assembly<br />

into equipment will be coated prior to assembly.<br />

ASTM D 3955 (MIL-V-173), VARNISH, ELECTRICAL<br />

INSULATING 12<br />

b. Apply varnish by spraying, dipping, brushing, or any<br />

combination thereof in such a manner that dried film<br />

will provide complete coverage and have a clear smooth<br />

finish free from defects such as bubbles, wrinkles, filaments,<br />

or dry spray dust. Where practicable, the thickness<br />

of dried coating shall be at least 0.002 inches (2<br />

mils).<br />

6.4.4 Preparing Coating Material for Application. Use<br />

these guidelines when preparing the varnish coating materials<br />

for application:<br />

ASTM D 3955 (MIL-V-173), VARNISH, ELECTRICAL<br />

INSULATING 12<br />

a. Choose an appropriate coating material that conforms to<br />

ASTM D 3955 (MIL-V-173).<br />

A-A-3007, THINNER, PHENOLFORMALDEDYDE AND<br />

MEDIUM OIL AND STYRENATED ALKYD PAINTS AND<br />

VARNISHES 1<br />

b. If thinning is required, thinner conforming to A-A-3007<br />

shall be used. Mixing of the thinner with the varnish<br />

shall be per the varnish manufacturer's instructions.<br />

c. The varnish when ready for application shall contain 50<br />

percent or more by weight of nonvolatile matter.<br />

NOTE<br />

ASTM D 3955 (MIL-V-173), Moisture and Fungus<br />

Resistant Varnish, and A-A-3007, Thinner, are both<br />

available through the <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> supply system. A-A-<br />

3007, Thinner, can be procured in a 1 quart can under<br />

NSN 8010-00-441-5938 and a 1 gallon can under<br />

NSN 8010-00-441-5940. ASTM D 3955 (MIL-V-<br />

173), Moisture and Fungus Resistant Varnish, can be<br />

procured in a 16 oz. aerosol can under NSN 5970-00-<br />

832-6950, a 1 quart can under NSN 8010-00-180-<br />

6343, and a 1 gallon can under NSN 5970-00-285-<br />

0271.<br />

6.4.5 Coverage. Apply coating material thoroughly and<br />

completely over all surfaces, circuit elements, resistors, capacitors,<br />

coils, etc., all surfaces supporting circuit elements, interconnecting<br />

wiring and connections unless such application<br />

will interfere with operating performance of equipment. The<br />

following are examples of parts which normally require treatment<br />

in complete assembly; however, the part need not be<br />

treated if specifically exempted by applicable repair standard,<br />

if marked as required by paragraph 6.4.9 or if exempted under<br />

paragraph 6.4.6.<br />

6.4.5.1 Cables, cordage, braid-covered cables, cable forms,<br />

lacing cord, wire, etc., (i.e., those inside equipment and not<br />

normally fixed in operation).<br />

6.4.5.2 Capacitors, fixed under 600-volts operating, must be<br />

treated after assembly.<br />

6.4.5.3 Chassis, bottom, and top, unless finished in accordance<br />

with requirements of Chapter 7.<br />

6.4.5.4 Chokes.<br />

6.4.5.5 Coils.<br />

6.4.5.6 Metals, joints between dissimilar metals and unvarnished<br />

or unpainted metallic surfaces, including shield cans,<br />

cases, and covers, unless finished in accordance with requirements<br />

of REP-1007.<br />

6.4.5.7 Paper labels and decalcomanias.<br />

6.4.5.8 Pile-up portions of jacks, relays, switches, etc.<br />

6.4.5.9 Resistors, fixed, except hermetical types, all others<br />

must be treated after assembly.<br />

6.4.5.10 Tube sockets, except contacts.<br />

6.4.5.11 Soldered joints, including adjacent wire insulation<br />

and terminal boards.<br />

6.4.5.12 Toggle switches.<br />

6.4.5.13 Terminal boards.<br />
