What is Potting?
Potting is the process of filling an enclosure that holds electronic circuitry with a liquid, that when cured, completely encases a unit. This provides mechanical stability during shock and vibration as well as environmental protection from moisture and foreign objects.
When to Use Potting
Potting processes are ideal for components that require additional shock and vibration resistance. Potting applications are used when a component is mounted within a pot or shell. By surrounding components in a potting material, they are sealed from external contaminants such as water and corrosive materials.
Benefits of Potting
- High shock and vibration resistance
- Complete component encapsulation
- Foreign contaminant resistance
- Increased mechanical durability
- Varying material hardness
- Moisture resistance
