Don,

You didn't say where the rework was needed. If the rework is in the epoxy,
based upon the methods suggested, it sounds like the hardware being worked
on will be compromised to some extent. If the rework is outside the potting
(e.g.. wires too short), then I might suggest using a crimp splice covered
with shrink tubing, The crimps could be staggered so that the overall wire
bundle size would remain about the same. Of course what ever documentation
you need to provide to deviate from the print must be mutually agreed to by
all parties.

Subject: [TN] Epoxy Removal


I need some quick suggestions.  I have a sensor assembly (metal body) with
epoxy potting covering a header and wire terminations.  The termination area
is potted in epoxy, and the volume is about the size of a sewing thimble.
The wires require rework.  Is there a way to remove the epoxy to get to the
wire terminations?

Any and all suggestions appreciated.
