In order to protect electronic components and sub-assemblies plus cables and connections from environmental influences, these are increasingly encapsulated or extrusion-coated into their shape.
This technique is gaining in significance as the manufacturers' warranty requirements are increasing. The trend towards compact design, particularly in the automotive industry, also plays a major part in this.
Areas of use can be found in nearly all branches of industry, from automotive to industrial electronics applications and power engineering.
