RE: hard anodized process to insulate metal chassis parts

1999-09-01 Thread James, Chris

Yes we hit this problem several years ago, hence my qualifier of
non-hydroscopic of which there are various options

Maybe a slip of the fingers... We recently got bit on the fishpaper
insulation. Fishpaper absorbs moisture; better to call it plastic, or mylar,
etc. than to leave a possible suggestion that fishpaper is any good for this
application.

Given that sulphuric hard III anodizing is only .001 to .003 thick then I'd

have thought not. It is also fairly easy to compromise, so in a mechanical 
assembly you would be hard pressed to know how good the insulator was or how

long it would remain so after the rigours of use (vibration etc.). Better to

stick with SIL pad type materials or non-hydroscopic Fish card type 
insulators.

Good afternoon, 

Does anyone know of a process of Hard Anodized  metal chassis parts that 
is 
considered an acceptable insulator against hazardous voltages by any agency.

The 
related spec describing this process is MIL- A-8625F. 

Please advise at your earliest convenience.   Thanks
