Conformal coating and potting are two methods of enhancing or ensuring an assembly is protected in harsh environments and insulated against contamination. Conformal coating is the application of a protective chemical or polymer film that conforms to the PCBA’s topology. Potting is a process of filling an enclosure or mold with a compound that hardens to provide shock, vibration, moisture and corrosive protection to its enclosed electronics. Onlitex’s Contract Manufacturing Services experience includes 100’s of thousands of these ruggedized assemblies.
