Is conformal coating necessary onto the PCB assembly?

I noticed that most PCB and components on it are conformal coating. Is that a necessary process for all the PCB in other field? What are they for?

Depends.

-Most commercial products do not have a conformal coating.

-PCBs of Industrieel, especially military, may need additional protection from moisture and dust.

Manufacture of the PCBs may leave moisture in the fiberglass substrate. That would cause slippy operation towards units. The solution is to bake out the blank PCBs before soldering the parts on and spraying on a conformal coating to seal the analog electronics / PCB. Then calibrate the unit a few days later.

My teammate are designing an LED Board and confused by PCB heat sink problem. Is it on the back or the sides with copper traces? Is it on the anode and cathode pad or side copper traces?

Can I use LEDs without PCB?

I recently purchased LEDs on ebay that were supposed to come attached to star PCB (as a heat sink). The items I received are just the LEDs (no PCB). They are listed as 3W LEDs, with a forward voltage of 3.0-3.4V, and current at 700mA.Will I damage/destroy the LEDs if I use them without a heat sink? Als niet, what is the best way to mount these to preserve their life during operation?
