Benefits of Potting Electronics in a Vacuum

Vacuum potting is mainly aimed at electronic components with small openings and complex internal structures.

June 10, 2020

The potting of electronic components involves filling the assembly with a compound such as liquid resin (e.g., epoxy, silicone, polyurethane) to protect it from environmental or use conditions like moisture, humidity, and vibration. Any air entrapment in the potting compound can result in air bubbles that may cause performance problems in the finished component.

Ask Dr. Dave

What type of adhesives would you recommend for bonding glass to steel that will be exposed from -20-100˚F in an outdoor environment?

Dr. Dave explains why this type of application can often be tricky, particularly due to the large differences in thermal expansion coefficients between the glass, the steel, and the adhesive.
