Encapsulated Coils

Encapsulated coils provide protection from harmful environments, offer high dielectric and isolation properties, and yield uniform dimensional and cosmetic characteristics.

The encapsulation process aids in:

  • heat transfer
  • heat dissipation
  • protection from thermal shock
  • component protection from
  • grease
    • salt
    • water
    • humidity
    • gasoline
    • diesel fuel
    • vibration
    • out-gassing in vacuum

Encapsulated coils are achieved using epoxies, silicone rubber, polyesters, or other materials able to withstand temperature ranges of 105°C to 180°C.

The choice of encapsulating material is made most often when a project requires coils with a protective shell and the tooling cost for molding is impractical, or when the appropriate molding material is not available or cost efficient.

ECC employs our unique Mold Master technique to economically produce encapsulated coils and transformers to accommodate low or medium volume projects.
