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.
