Phenyl silicone rubber, with its excellent electrical insulation properties, wide temperature range stability, and radiation resistance, has become a key material in the field of electronic device insulation, especially suitable for protecting precision electronic components in extreme environments.
I. Core Performance Advantages
Excellent Electrical Insulation Performance
Phenyl silicone rubber has high dielectric strength and low dielectric loss, effectively preventing current leakage and ensuring the safe operation of electronic devices. Its insulation performance remains stable in the range of -100℃ to 250℃, far exceeding the -55℃ lower limit of ordinary silicone rubber.
Extreme Temperature Adaptability
Low-temperature resistance: It maintains elasticity at low temperatures of -120℃, and low phenyl content products remain flexible at -110℃, ensuring reliable sealing in ultra-low temperature environments.
High-temperature resistance: After adding heat-resistant additives, it can withstand high temperatures above 300℃, with a long-term working temperature of 250-300℃, far higher than the 200℃ limit of ordinary silicone rubber.

Special Environmental Adaptability
Radiation resistance: High phenyl content products (phenyl content ≥30%) have excellent radiation resistance and are suitable for nuclear electronic equipment.
Self-extinguishing and ablation resistance: Medium and high phenyl content products have self-extinguishing properties, extinguishing themselves once ignited, and also have ablation resistance, making them suitable for high-temperature fire protection scenarios.

II. Application Examples in Electronic Device Insulation
Precision Component Encapsulation and Protection
Phenyl silicone rubber can be used as an encapsulating material for electronic and electrical components, effectively preventing moisture and dust intrusion and protecting sensitive electronic components. Its low compression set characteristics ensure long-term sealing reliability and are widely used in:
High-end integrated circuit packaging
Internal component protection of aerospace electronic equipment
Electronic component sealing in radiation environments of nuclear equipment
Special Cable and Connector Insulation
Used as an insulation layer for wires and cables, providing excellent electrical isolation and mechanical protection.
Used in cable connectors in high-temperature environments, such as automotive engine compartment electronic systems and internal connections of aerospace equipment.
Extreme Environment Sealing Solutions
Aerospace electronic systems: Used for sealing electronic equipment in spacecraft such as satellites and space stations, resisting extreme temperatures and radiation environments in space. Deep-sea exploration equipment: Maintaining the insulation performance of electronic systems in high-pressure, low-temperature environments.
New energy vehicle electronic systems: Applied to insulation protection of key components such as battery management systems and motor controllers.

III. Product Selection and Application Recommendations
Select phenyl content based on application scenario:
Low phenyl content (5-20%): Suitable for ultra-low temperature environments (below -100℃), such as deep space exploration equipment.
Medium phenyl content (20-30%): Balances low-temperature resistance and ablation resistance, suitable for general aerospace electronic equipment.
High phenyl content (30% or more): Designed for high-radiation environments, such as nuclear power plant monitoring equipment and satellite radiation protection systems.
Processing and Application Precautions:
Phenyl silicone rubber requires vulcanization to achieve optimal performance. Common vulcanization methods include room temperature vulcanization (RTV) and high-temperature vulcanization (HTV).
For electronic equipment applications, a pure formula is recommended to avoid adding impurities that may affect electrical performance.
For precision electronic components, it is recommended to use low-volatility phenyl silicone rubber to prevent volatile substances from contaminating sensitive components during long-term use.

IV. Industry Development Trends
With the rapid development of new energy, aerospace, and high-end electronics fields, the application of phenyl silicone rubber in electronic insulation materials is developing towards high performance and multi-functionality:
Transparency trend: New high-transparency phenyl silicone rubber (transmittance >90%) is being applied to optoelectronic devices.
Environmental protection development: Solvent-free phenyl silicone rubber reduces potential pollution to electronic components.
Customized services: Adjusting phenyl content and additives according to specific electronic equipment needs to provide customized insulation solutions.
As an insulation material for electronic equipment, phenyl silicone rubber not only meets the stringent requirements of modern electronic technology for high reliability and wide temperature range adaptability, but also provides an indispensable protective barrier for electronic equipment in extreme environments. It is a key material that deserves priority consideration in the design of high-end electronic equipment.
