The R-TECH Electronic Potting Enclosure is designed for engineers and hobbyists seeking a reliable, permanent housing for small electronic circuits and assemblies. This 40x40x20mm box provides a robust, flame-retardant solution for protecting sensitive components against environmental hazards; however, users should be aware that this is an open-box design intended for encapsulation, meaning it does not include a lid.

No, this is an open-box design specifically intended for use with potting compounds, which act as the permanent cover.
It is constructed from ABS plastic, which is flame retardant to UL-94HB standards.
Generally, no. Potting is intended for permanent encapsulation. Removing the circuit would likely damage both the components and the enclosure.
The box itself is a container; however, once correctly filled with a suitable waterproof potting compound, the resulting assembly will provide excellent moisture protection.
The enclosure is designed to operate in temperatures between -20°C and +60°C.
Ensure the enclosure is placed on a level surface and check that there are no cracks in the base. Use a small amount of adhesive putty around the base if working on an uneven surface.
Check your PCB dimensions. If the board is slightly larger than 40x40mm, you may need to file the edges or choose a larger enclosure size.
To use the R-TECH potting box, ensure your circuit assembly fits within the 40 x 40 x 20mm internal cavity. Before pouring your chosen compound, it is recommended to clean the internal surfaces of the box with isopropyl alcohol to ensure proper adhesion. When potting, fill the enclosure slowly to avoid trapping air bubbles, which can cause points of weakness in the final assembly. Store the empty enclosures in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the ABS plastic before use.
