Potting-optimized component design

With regard to potting, the design of electronic assemblies and components has a significant impact on economical and sustainable production. Key aspects in this respect are pottability, material use, cycle times, quality and the process technology needed. Optimized, bubble-free potting contributes greatly to the function and longevity of products. It is best practice ...

Process Engineering - Why is preparation of adhesive bonding and potting materials necessary?

To meet the steady increase in technical requirements for electronic components, potting media properties must be extremely precise. Rheology, viscosity, filler content and curing behavior are only a few of the factors that play a role in their practical use. However, the growing complexity of materials often negatively impacts the ability to process or dispense them. In this case, ...

Potting in a Vacuum or Atmosphere?

Potting in a vacuum or atmospheric conditions? This question about the correct procedure concerns many users, among others i.e. electronics manufacturers, who pot more and more complex parts and components for a huge variety of products. Against the actual requirements of product and process, a decision on the procedure is often made under the assumption: ...

Potting And Encapsulating - Avoiding Voids

Formulators of multi-component adhesives, potting and encapsulation materials are careful not to supply products with entrapped air. They do this by manufacturing under vacuum or degassing them before supplying to the end user. Consequently, entrapped air in a mixed material is usually a processing issue.

The Effect of Coating and Potting on the Reliability of QFN Devices.

The fastest growing package types in the electronics industry today are Bottom Termination Components (BTCs). While the advantages of BTCs are well documented, they pose significant reliability challenges to users. One of the most common drivers for reliability failures is the inappropriate adoption of new technologies. This is especially true for new component packaging like ...

Change cyberoptics conveyor direction -- I have an se500 ultra cyberoptics spi that is configured for right to left. I'd like to swap it to left to right. I'm unsure how to do so. One manual I've found says to run the configuration program then calibrate, which I can't do as don't have a cal kit. The other says to change a registry value then reinstall the software, which I tried and it didn't work. Can I calibrate with any board or if there another way to switch direction?

CP45FV vaccuum pump -- Has anyone ever replaced the venturi vaccum pump on the CP45 or other series machine? Or used a centralized vaccum system? It works fine, but air consumption seems excessive. This is what is in there, it probably uses 10cfm at least.
