Protecting electronic circuits in hazardous areas ?

AI Thread Summary
Protecting electronic circuits in hazardous areas involves using potting compounds, such as epoxy resin, to fully encapsulate and safeguard the components. For moisture protection, conformal coatings like Loctite Shadowcure are recommended. In highly vibrational environments, silicone can be used to shield specific parts, such as capacitors. Additionally, selecting appropriate box materials is crucial for impact and temperature resistance. Effective protection strategies are essential for ensuring the longevity and reliability of electronic circuits in challenging conditions.

I am interested in how to protect electronics circuit in hazard areas

Are there special ways of soldering /circuit arranging for highly vibrational places ?
moist/water protection ?
Impact ?
Hi temperature ?
Special box materials for examples above?
etc...
tnx ;D

One could use epoxy resin to fully protect the electronic circuit. This is very common in the electronics industry.

To simply protect the printed circuit board against moisture, try conformal coatings such as the Loctite Shadowcure.

If it is not possible to fill the complete assembly with a resin, some electronic parts such as capacitor can be protect agaist vibration using silicone.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
