Coating

Coating

Coating parts is optional for those components that require a higher dielectric resistance, resistance to chipping, or a smooth winding surface.

Parylene coating

Fair-Rite offers Parylene coating for select parts. This colorless conformal coating is used on smaller parts due to its higher cost but minimal coating thickness. Fair-Rite currently uses Paralyne-C material:

Thermo Set Plastic coating

Fair-Rite also offers the ability to coat parts with epoxy. Due to the minimum coating thickness of 0.005”, this method is reserved for parts that are larger in size (diameters > 9mm).
