Conformal Mapping. or conformal transformation (in mathematics), a mapping of one figure (region) to another in which any two curves intersecting at a certain angle at an interior point of the first figure are transformed into curves that intersect at the same angle in the second figure.hat this conformal mapping is realized with the aid of the function of the complex variable zâ = z 2. It is not difficult to ascertain that in this case the half-lines parallel to the sides of the angle are transformed into half-parabolas with a common focus at Oâ (Figure 3).
Part of the Electronics glossary: Conformal coating is the process of spraying a dielectric material onto a device component to protect it from moisture, fungus, dust, corrosion, abrasion, and other environmental stresses.Common conformal coatings include silicone, acrylic, urethane, epoxy, and Parylene.Parylene is a unique polymer conformal coating that conforms to virtually any shape including crevices, points, sharp edges, and flat, exposed internal surfaces.ommon conformal coatings include silicone, acrylic, urethane, epoxy, and Parylene.
