hi,

i'm not sure that you need to have the cure temperature higher than the
highest operating temperature if you are using a very flexible potting
material such as rtv (room temperature vulcanizing) silicones.  Choosing a
very rigid, high temperature curing, potting material most likely wouldn't
be a good choice.

...and a cure temperature higher than the
highest operating temperature)], and the operational temperature excursions
(severity and number). These parameters will determine what accelerated test
conditions should be used and if there is an acceleration factor that can be
applied.
