This provides design tips on selecting the right potting compounds for your electronic application. This is a guide to getting the most out of epoxy potting/encapsulation compounds. The encapsulating systems such as potting compounds play a crucial role in the assembly and long term protection of delicate electronic components.
When properly selected and applied, potting compounds form the first line of defense against a wide range of environmental, chemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrical that would otherwise ruin electronic components. When not properly selected and applied, potting compounds may not offer the desired level of protection. Even worse, a poorly chosen epoxy may cause some damage of its own by curing in such a way that subjects the potted electronic component to unwanted stresses or heat.
