Element14 Expands High-Quality PCB Protection Solutions
Published2022.01.21 11:09
Product protection and guaranteed 24/7 availability of core systems
Element14 has expanded its portfolio of high-quality PCB protection solutions to protect products from mechanical and environmental damage and ensure the 24/7 availability of critical systems.
Element14 announced on the 20th an expansion of its product line of floating compounds and conformal coating solutions for PCB protection.
These range from flexible silicones and rigid epoxy resins to conformal coating options that comprehensively protect your PCB.
New product lines added to element14's portfolio include leading global manufacturers such as DOW, Ambersil, Robnor Resinlab, MG Chemicals, Electrolube CHT, and element14's own brand, Multicomp Pro.
Electronic components and subassemblies are susceptible to damage from shock, temperature, moisture, and other factors that can damage not only the PCB but also the entire system.
Engineers use floating compounds and conformal coatings to protect PCBs, but choosing the right type of protection solution for high-performance applications is crucial.
Element14's PCB protection solutions product line consists of two main products:
Electrolube's UR5041RP250G polyurethane resinis a two-component, high-performance resin system with excellent seawater resistance and low moisture absorption, making it ideal for marine environments.
It is characterized by excellent physical protection capabilities with strong heat resistance and oxidation resistance as well as low-temperature performance down to -60°C.
DOW's SYLGARD 170 silicone elastomer is an easy-to-use, two-component (1:1 mix) general-purpose sealant with excellent flowability, longevity, and fire resistance.
It can be used for stress relief in applications where damage may occur during thermal cycles due to hard and stiff sealants, and can be applied in power supplies, connectors, sensors, industrial control equipment, transformers, amplifiers, high-voltage resistor packs, and relays.
