Potting

In the potting process, a reservoir is filled with either a single-component or two-component resin to protect electronic components, connections or terminations. Resins may include epoxies, silicones and urethanes. Potting can be accomplished either at atmospheric pressure or under vacuum pressure when voids within the resin are undesirable, a process called vacuum encapsulation.

Typical products that might be potted include power supplies, sensors, switches, and control modules.
