Product Description

DOWSIL™ 3-4155 HV Dielectric Gel Kit is a two-part, addition-cure silicone gel for potting and encapsulating printed circuit board system assemblies. The transparent green material has a 1:1 mix ratio and a medium mixed viscosity of 1875 mPa·s. It cures in 60 minutes at 25°C and may also be heat accelerated. After cure, the very soft gel provides electrical insulation, mechanical protection, environmental protection, and stress relief for electronic assemblies. It has a typical dielectric strength of 400 V/mil and is intended for operation from -65°C to 200°C.

Key features

  • Soft dielectric encapsulation: The cured gel has a typical gel hardness of 60 g for protecting and insulating sensitive electronic assemblies.
  • Room-temperature or accelerated cure: The addition-cure system cures in 60 minutes at 25°C and can be heat accelerated.
  • Extended operating-temperature range: The cured material is intended to retain performance from -65°C to 200°C.

Applications / Suitable for

  • Potting and encapsulation of printed circuit board system assemblies
  • Electrical insulation of electronic assemblies
  • Mechanical and environmental protection
  • Stress relief for electronic components and interconnections
  • Battery packs, boards, and assemblies
