  • Water-resistant encapsulation of solenoid
    Patent number: 6310533
    Abstract: This invention relates to the resin encapsulation of solenoids to achieve water resistance at pressure depth. When a compatible and bondable resin is used to form a solenoid bobbin, to insulate the lead-in wires and to encapsulate the solenoid, the resulting encapsulation is effective in resisting water penetration. The formation of bonds between the encapsulation and the solenoid bobbin flanges and insulated lead-in wires allows the encapsulated solenoid to resist water penetration and to operate efficiently in underwater environments.
