Potting and Encapsulation Services for Electronics Protection

As a specialized potting and encapsulation provider, OurPCB delivers epoxy, polyurethane, and silicone potting for complete environmental protection of electronics and cable assemblies. Our vacuum degassing ensures void-free encapsulation for IP67/IP68 sealed assemblies in demanding wire harness applications.

Material selection depends on operating conditions: epoxy provides rigid, high-protection encapsulation; polyurethane offers flexibility for thermal cycling; silicone handles high temperatures and provides soft encapsulation. Temperature ratings from -40°C to +200°C cover most application requirements.

Potting protects marine electronics from saltwater immersion, oil and gas assemblies from chemical exposure, and defense equipment from vibration and shock. Industrial sensor assemblies benefit from complete environmental sealing.

Custom potting shells and housings accommodate various assembly geometries. Meter-mix dispensing equipment ensures consistent material properties batch to batch. Heat cure and UV cure options accelerate production throughput. Thermal management compounds dissipate heat from enclosed electronics.

Our overmolding services provide alternative protection for connector areas. Environmental testing verifies seal integrity. Contact us for potting quotes for your electronics encapsulation and environmental protection requirements.

Common Questions

Potting FAQ

Potting encapsulates electronics and cable assemblies in a protective compound. It provides environmental sealing against moisture, dust, and chemicals; vibration and shock protection; electrical insulation; and thermal management.

We use epoxy (rigid, high protection), polyurethane (flexible, good for thermal cycling), and silicone (high temperature, soft). Material selection depends on operating conditions, flexibility needs, and temperature requirements.

Generally, potting is permanent and potted components cannot be easily accessed. For assemblies that may need service, we can design in replaceable modules or use softer potting materials that can be removed if necessary.

We use vacuum degassing to remove air from potting compounds before and during cure. This eliminates voids that could cause electrical breakdown or allow moisture intrusion.
