Assembly in Action: Solenoid Withstands Chemicals and Cuts Costs
Liquids can wreak havoc on electrical components. But thanks to a good coil form design, controlled molding conditions, and the use of the same material for the bobbin and outer shell, an encapsulated solenoid has been created that resists liquid penetration.
By using DuPont's (Wilmington, DE) Zytel HTN polyamide and thermoplastic encapsulation technology, Wabash Magnetics Control Products (Wabash, IN) has developed a cost-cutting solenoid coil that stands up in demanding environments.
