UL-approved Class B Epoxy Mold Compounds for Coil and Bobbin Encapsulation

UL gives all Epoxy Mold­ing Pow­der Com­pounds a gener­ic 130°C (Class B) oper­at­ing tem­per­a­ture rat­ing with­out testing

Recent­ly, we were asked if we could sup­ply a UL-approved class B Epoxy Mold Com­pound sys­tem as bob­bin and encap­su­la­tion mate­r­i­al. Class B means that the mate­r­i­al can be run con­tin­u­ous­ly at tem­per­a­tures of 130°C.

The short answer to the ques­tion is that UL gives all Epoxy Mold­ing Com­pounds a gener­ic 130°C (Class B) oper­at­ing tem­per­a­ture rat­ing with­out test­ing. This is due to the amount of filler SolE­poxy incor­po­rate into the epoxy. Class F (155°C) and Class H (180°C) rat­ings how­ev­er, must be test­ed by our cus­tomers on their devices.
