At the heart of every reliable enclosure lies one critical component: the seal. Whether protecting sensitive electronics from environmental hazards or enhancing the long-term performance of a system, the seal serves as the first line of defense. Its effectiveness is critical to the functionality and longevity of enclosure systems.
Marian Inc. and Rogers Corporation have partnered to bring you the Enclosure Institute™—a free learning platform designed to help engineers navigate the complexities of enclosure sealing.
In our last blog, we outlined why temperature is a crucial factor in design and material selection. Now we will take a closer look into the ideal temperature ranges for specific Rogers Corporation materials.
An important design factor for engineers to consider is the temperature at which the material will be exposed throughout the product's life. Elastomeric materials will respond differently to changes in temperature depending on the material chemistry.
The Optimizing PCB Designs Guidebook offers insights into innovative materials, fabrication techniques, and design considerations that enhance circuit performance.
Material Navigator Tool is an easy-to-use tool to help you quickly identify elastomeric materials that meet your project requirements.
Let's dive into an overview of stress relaxation for elastomeric materials and what you need to know to make informed design decisions.
Let's review the fundamentals of density and firmness, how they’re measured, and why both are important in elastomeric material selection.
