Electrical components are shielded from the environment through a method called electronic encapsulation. This can be accomplished by substances like silicone, epoxy, or potting compound.
Electronic encapsulation is the process of covering an electronic assembly in a substance to protect it from shock, vibration, and corrosion.
Encapsulation’s goal is to surround the component with protection without really embedding it. It enhances electrical insulation, flame retardancy, and heat dissipation while providing resistance to significant threats like shock, vibration, moisture, and corrosive chemicals.
ISO 26262 is the safety standard used by the vehicle industry. In commercial vehicles, it alludes to the electric and electronic systems.
The risk in this standard is evaluated using the Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASILs) A-D. A standard for railroads is EN 50128. Encapsulation is a method that creates small capsules with controlled migration by enclosing active substances (such as antimicrobials or biocides) in a covering.
The global Automotive electronics Encapsulation material market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
A brand-new range of encapsulating resins has been introduced by Electro lube, the top electro-chemicals and circuit protection specialist, exclusively for the Indian market.
The new resins were created at the company’s Bangalore production site using local resources to achieve highly competitive prices and quick lead times.
Electro lube’s Indian team recognized local customers’ needs in terms of financial constraints and production processes using group technical assistance and critical local knowledge, and produced five cost-effective new resins with greater specifications than competing products on the market.
The UK parent business has given the new encapsulants its complete seal of approval for quality and innovation in accordance with widely accepted criteria.
In addition to being reasonably priced, the new resins provide clients with good, high-performance substitutes for already available resin products from companies like Dow Corning and Elantra’s.
The new silicone encapsulating resins SC4004 and SC4003 from Electro lube are ideal for power supply and automotive applications.
With a high thermal conductivity (1.0 W/m.K), SC4004 can effectively dissipate heat and is suited for a wide temperature range, up to +220 0 C for brief excursions of up to 30 minutes.
It is an alternative to Dow Corning’s CN-8760. Given the market’s rising silicone prices, both silicone products offer an approachable 1:1 ratio with the added benefit of quick cure mechanisms at room temperature. They are also extremely reasonably priced.
For applications such as rectifier regulators, CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition), electronic fuel injector circuit potting encapsulation, motor winding applications, cable gland potting, and encapsulation of LED driver units, the two-part, thermally conductive epoxy encapsulation resins ER6003 and ER6004 are the best choice. Effective potting of challenging and complicated geometries is also made possible by good flow properties.
