Farnell expands range of solutions for PCB protection

Increased range of plotting compounds and conformal coating solutions to protect Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) used in critical applications are now available from Farnell

Farnell, an Avnet Company and global distributor of electronic components, products and solutions has announced an expansion of its range of protective solutions for Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) to provide engineers with optimal solutions for every application.

The range of new products added to Farnell’s portfolio includes solutions from some of the world’s leading manufacturers, such as DOW, Ambersil, Robnor Resinlab, MG Chemicals, Electrolube CHT and Farnell’s private label brand Multicomp Pro. The in-stock range features flexible silicone and rugged epoxy resin through to conformal coating options which provide all-round protection for PCBs.

Farnell’s in-stock range of solutions for PCB protection include:

• 832HD Potting Compound from MG Chemicals: Solvent free and featuring a low mixed viscosity, the 832HD plotting compound can easily penetrate small gaps and cavities while providing excellent electrical insulation.
• UR5041RP250G Polyurethane Resin from Electrolube: A two-part, high performance resin system which provides excellent resistance to sea water and low water absorption, making it ideal for marine environments.
• SYLGARD 170 Silicone Elastomer from DOW: An easy-to-use two-part, 1:1 mix, general purpose encapsulant with good flowability, long working time and flame resistance.
