SineTamer® Surge Protection Devices - Enhanced Encapsulation System

The SineTamer® encapsulation system provides enhanced thermal transfer characteristics yielding improved thermal energy transfer and thermal stability while eliminating hot spots and thermal shock.

To better understand the benefits of SineTamer® encapsulation system, it is important to first note the well-known encapsulation benefits familiar to experienced electronics engineers:

1. Hermetic Sealing. All integrated circuits and electronic components should be protected in this manner. This provides protection from moisture, high altitude effects, dirt, fungus, corrosive gases, vibration, corrosion and other service conditions.

2. Superior High Voltage Insulation. The SineTamer® products are utility proven and recommended. They stood up to brutal testing. The SineTamer®products took these huge hits with ease while other systems blew apart.

3. Superior Mechanical Strength. The SineTamer® design provides superior mechanical strength and integrity. The net effect is high tensile strength, superior impact strength, as well as superior shock and vibration resistance.

4. Superior Thermal Stress Reducing Properties. The SineTamer®encapsulation system provides enhanced thermal transfer characteristics yielding improved thermal energy transfer and thermal stability while eliminating hot spots and thermal shock. The electronic components of a surge suppressor are subject to a constant barrage of surges, spikes, and impulses. The effect of this barrage causes the circuitry to heat and cool. This thermal cycling causes mechanical expansion and contraction to occur. These expansion and contraction cycles stress the components. Fatigue failures occur as cracks are propagated under this thermally induced stress. Heat, hot spots and thermal cycling are the enemy of all electronics. 

Our factory has people with almost two decades of experience in manufacturing surge protective devices. Some are considered pioneers in the field. Early on, these people learned that some encapsulants were capable of greatly improving overall SPD performance. Applying the experience and knowledge gained from these years of extensive research and design efforts, SineTamer® Surge Protection Devices were created. These devices, when properly applied, will produce the most effective and reliable power protection available today.


SineTamer® Surge Protection Devices are manufactured by Fort Worth, TX based Energy Control Systems International. The company specializes in engineering of power quality solutions and supply of power quality products.
