Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized protective encapsulation component designed specifically for high-voltage resistor networks, which serves as a critical barrier against electrical arcing, moisture ingress, chemical exposure, and physical damage. It ensures long-term reliability by maintaining dielectric strength and preventing premature failure in demanding industrial applications.
Working Principle
Works by completely surrounding the resistor network with a dielectric material that isolates conductive elements from each other and the environment. This prevents electrical leakage, corona discharge, and short circuits while dissipating heat and providing structural support to withstand thermal cycling and mechanical stress.
Materials
High-performance silicone rubber, epoxy resin, or polyurethane compounds with dielectric strength >15 kV/mm, thermal conductivity 0.2-0.5 W/m·K, UL94 V-0 flame rating, and operating temperature range -40°C to +180°C.
Technical Parameters
  • IP Rating IP67
  • Shore Hardness A50-A70
  • Volume Resistivity >10^14 Ω·cm
  • Dielectric Strength >20 kV
  • Thermal Conductivity 0.3 W/m·K
  • Operating Temperature -40°C to +155°C
Standards
IEC 60529, UL 746C, ASTM D149, ISO 16750
