Hello.. I am trying to repair a circuit board which has a couple of obsolete components. These parts are unavailable and it appears that I am going to have to resort to 'cludging' an alternate part in order to getting the pcb back up and running. To do this, I will need to bond the parts to the pcb in some fashion, using some insulation material between the component and the pcb. My desire is to use clear RTV in case I need to possibly remove the part at a later date.
The question is, how safe is using RTV on pcbs? Is there some corrosive properties that possibly take place later down the road? I would guess that some formulations of RTV are better than others in this regard. Your ideas and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks - Jim Largo, Fl USA
