How many deigns have you selected the proper potting compounds for?
What types of filler materials? How did you verify that no moisture
would be trapped inside the potting? Did you verify the temperature
coefficient of very component, the PC board material and the housing?
Test it for extended periods over the entire temperature, humidity and
barometric conditions that it can encounter in service. how about
vibration & impact testing? Or are you just blowing more smoke out your
ass.
