Potting of electronic and electrical components

Electrical and electronic components are used in a large number of products and their reliability has become a matter of course for the end customer – even under extreme ambient conditions. Such conditions may range from impacts and vibrations to dust or moisture or even high temperatures. To ensure reliable operation and correct electrical insulation, the components are potted with liquid compounds. Potting forms a permanent joint with the component and thus protects it against unauthorised intervention. Depending on the potting compound and the specific application, the process is carried out under atmospheric pressure or vacuum. One of the processing challenges faced is to achieve bubble-free potting because entrapped air will lower the insulation and protection capability as well as the mechanical strength of the components.

DOPAG mixing and metering systems enable repeatable high-precision metering. Such metering involves a constant mixing ratio even at varying flow rates in dynamical processes. As seen both from the ecological and economical perspectives, DOPAG metering and mixing systems promote a sustainable production process. The materials to be processed are mixed based on the specific demand which means material consumption and waste disposal costs can be reduced. The use of flushing agents is not required.
