STYCAST 2651-40

Main features

Product Description

LOCTITE STYCAST 2651-40 CAT 11 is a two-component, heat-curing epoxy encapsulant designed for general-purpose electronic encapsulation applications. This low-viscosity formulation offers excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates while providing dielectric performance, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength after cure. With a working life exceeding four hours at room temperature and operating temperatures from -55°C to +155°C, it is suitable for encapsulating electronic assemblies, coils, and components that require environmental protection and electrical insulation. The material delivers stable physical and electrical properties in demanding operating environments.

Key features

  • Low viscosity formulation: Mixed viscosity of approximately 4,000 cP supports flow into complex cavities and densely packed assemblies.
  • Dielectric performance: Provides electrical insulation with dielectric strength of 450 volts/mil after cure.
  • Wide temperature capability: Operates across temperatures from -55°C to +155°C for demanding electronic applications.

Thermal Conductivity
Thermal conductivity describes the ability of a material to conduct heat. It is required by power packages in order to dissipate heat and maintain stable electrical performance. Thermal conductivity units are [W/(m K)] in the SI system and [Btu/(hr ft °F)] in the Imperial system.

Electrical Properties
Dielectric Strength
Dielectric strength is measured in kV per mm and is calculated by the Breakdown voltage divided by the thickness of the tested material. Those two properties go hand in hand and while Breakdown voltage is always thickness dependent, dielectric strength is a general material property. As an example, the dielectric strength of Polyimide is 236 kV/mm. If we place 1mm of Polyimide between two electrodes, it will act as an insulator until the voltage between the electrodes reaches 236 kV. At this point it will start acting as a good conductor, causing sparks, potential punctures and current flow.
17.7 kV/mm
