Encapsulation protects electronic components, connections or terminations from moisture and dirt, oil or other chemicals in the environment by completely encasing and sealing them with either a single- or plural-component resin. Resins may include epoxies, silicones or urethanes. Encapsulation can be accomplished at atmospheric pressure or under vacuum pressure when voids within the resin are undesirable.

Typical products that might be encapsulated include cable splice, coils, power supplies, sensors, switches, and control modules.
