Hi guys and girls - I have a challenge! I am after a method of encasing a circuit board + battery THAT ISN'T an IP67-rated (waterproof) plastic case. This casing could be 1 layer/ material that does everything or it could be several.
Required:
1) Thin (1-2mm ideally, 4-5mm ok)
2) Strong/ tough/ durable
3) Heat resistant to 80 deg C
5) Electrical insulator
6) Anti-static
7) Non permeable, possibly hydrophobic as well to avoid moisture/ dampness build-up over time. IP-56 rating may be acceptable if IP-67 not possible.
8) Won’t shield radio communications between 200MHz and 2GHz
Ideally looking for something not too expensive (a few pounds per module) to encase a PCB+Batt c. 10cm squared, which would last 2-4 years in outdoors environments exposed to moisture, weather, temps cycling daily between hot and cold (sub-zero in winter, 50 deg C in summer). The more resistant to chemicals/ solvents the better.
Do you know of any materials/ solutions which may be viable?
Thank you!
Camille
