prventing switches melting ???
Hi there .
I wonder if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can stop sub miniature toggle switches from melting , with the heat that is produced , during the curing and setting process of me using potting compound , I don't mean physically melting , but I suppose it heats up and distorts , and makes the switch very stiff to operate until eventually it is useless . I have thought of wrapping it with self-algmating tape before I put the resin in the box . any suggestion , welcome ?? de Paul |

I have had that too :-(
I have to agree with the Dr...... use a different switch. -- Gregg *It's probably useful, even if it can't be SPICE'd* http://geek.scorpiorising.ca |

Try using some foam tape over the switch assembly before applying the
pot compound. Another solution is to use a cold compound instead of heat generating pot compound. uk-hamman wrote: Hi there .
