A typical situation is when you want to <\/span><b>protect the PCB<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and electronic components from the <\/span><b>stresses<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> generated by <\/span><b>organic resins<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that are <\/span><b>stiffer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><b>less<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> capable of <\/span><b>absorbing<\/b> <b>thermal expansion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these cases, a layer of <\/span><b>silicone product<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be applied first in direct contact with the PCB and then an <\/span><b>organic potting<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for example <\/span><b>epoxy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><b>polyurethane<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it is necessary to consider a fundamental aspect: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">there will be <\/span><b>no<\/b><b> adhesion<\/b> between <b>silicone<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>organic potting<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For this reason, the organic potting can only adhere to the <\/span><b>walls<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the <\/span><b>housing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or other <\/span><b>compatible surfaces<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This combination can still have a technical rationale. The <\/span><b>silicone layer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> contributes to <\/span><b>stress management<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> , and the <\/span><b> and expansion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while the<\/span><b> organic potting<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can offer a <\/span><b>surface<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stiffer <\/span><b> protection <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and greater resistance to <\/span><b>resistance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> extreme conditions <\/span><b>corrosive gases<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><b> and aggressive chemicals<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this way, some characteristics of silicone can be combined with those of an organic resin, but always after a specific application evaluation.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; row_position_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; id=&#8221;10&#8243; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; flex_gap_desktop=&#8221;10px&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h2><strong>Learn more about silicones for electronics<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The choice of a <\/span><b>silicone for electronics<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should never be considered just as a product choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adhesion, compatibility with conformal coating, interface behavior, chemical resistance, stress management, and application process are all aspects that influence the final reliability of the PCB and the electronic device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about the topic, on the Mascherpa website you will find technical content dedicated to <\/span><b>materials for <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/mascherpa.it\/guida-prodotto\/elettronica\/\"><b>electronic protection<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>conformal coatings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>silicones<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and solutions to improve the operational continuity of <\/span><b>PCB boards<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
