Battery Potting and Encapsulation

Utilizing potting and encapsulation compounds in your battery pack design can optimize the performance of your end product. There are three basic types of resins used in this process; these materials are epoxy, urethane, and silicone. These polymeric formulations have excellent adhesion, thermal stability and outstanding chemical resistance. Battery potting and encapsulation compounds are used to provide mechanical reinforcement to housed assemblies, to fill large voids, and to protect components…

Flip Chip Die Attach

Flip chip die attach is a technique used in the semiconductor and microelectronics industry for connecting semiconductor chips (known as dies) directly to substrates or carrier packages. In this method, the chip is flipped over and attached facedown onto the substrate or carrier using a conductive adhesive material. This is in contrast to the traditional wire bonding method, where the connections are made by bonding wires from the chip to…

Dam and Fill Encapsulation

"Dam and fill" is a technique used in electronics manufacturing and semiconductor packaging to address the challenges of encapsulating delicate components with epoxy resin or other encapsulant materials. In certain electronic devices, there might be components that are placed relatively close to each other on a circuit board or within a semiconductor package. These components can generate heat during operation, and the thermal expansion and contraction rates of different materials…

Polyurethane Potting Compounds

Polyurethane potting compounds are a type of thermosetting polymer material commonly used in electronics and electrical applications for encapsulating or potting electronic components. Potting refers to the process of enclosing or embedding components in a protective compound to enhance their durability, protect against environmental factors, and provide electrical insulation. Polyurethane potting compounds are formulated by combining two main components: a polyol resin and an isocyanate hardener. These components react chemically…
