Enhanced Edge Coverage Through Flood Coating – Innovative Approaches for Reliable Protection of Power Electronics

Flood coating is an innovative protection technology for electronic assemblies that combines the benefits of conformal coating and potting. Compared with conventional potting and dam & fill processes, flood coating achieves near-complete encapsulation while reducing material consumption by up to 60%, lowering weight and cost. As no dedicated housing or dam structure is required, manufacturing complexity and process times can be reduced. The presentation compares flood coating with conformal coating, dam & fill, and traditional potting for automotive, power electronics, and industrial applications.
