Coating vs. Encapsulation: Choosing the Right Protection for Your Electronics
Conformal coating vs encapsulation for electronics is a critical decision for design engineers and product managers developing PCBs for harsh environments. Conformal coating applies a thin polymeric film (25–250 µm) that conforms to board contours, preserving repairability and minimizing weight. Encapsulation (or potting) completely immerses the assembly in a thick resin (millimeters to centimeters), delivering […]
