How Do Encapsulated Coils Benefit the Defense Industry?

At Sag Harbor Industries, we take pride in delivering innovative, durable, and cost-effective solutions tailored to the unique demands of various industries, including defense. Our encapsulated coils, a cornerstone of our product lineup, offer exceptional performance and reliability, making them a critical component for defense applications. Available through our expertise, these coils are designed to withstand the harshest conditions while meeting stringent military standards. 

Encapsulated coils are coated with a resin that protects the internal wires from moisture, corrosion, and mechanical damage—key challenges in defense operations. Whether deployed in rugged terrains, underwater systems, or high-altitude aircraft, these coils maintain functionality under extreme temperatures and pressures. The resin encapsulation, utilizing UL-approved class B, F, and H insulation systems, ensures longevity, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacements in field conditions where reliability is non-negotiable.

The defense industry demands components that can endure chemical exposure, vibration, and shock, such as those experienced in combat vehicles or naval vessels. Our encapsulated coils provide a robust barrier against these hazards, enhancing their lifespan and performance. This added protection is particularly vital for sensitive electronics in missile guidance systems or radar equipment, where failure is not an option. Our choice epoxies are selected based on customer needs, ensuring optimal resistance to environmental stressors.

At Sag Harbor Industries, we understand that defense applications often require tailored solutions. Our encapsulated coils can be custom-engineered to meet exact specifications, from size and shape to electrical properties, supporting diverse uses like solenoid valves in armored vehicles or power systems in drones. Our team of expert engineers collaborates closely with defense clients to design coils that integrate seamlessly into complex assemblies, adhering to rigorous standards such as those set by aerospace and military protocols.

Reliability is paramount in defense, where encapsulated coils power critical components like actuators, sensors, and communication devices. The resin coating eliminates vulnerabilities to dust, humidity, and electromagnetic interference, ensuring consistent operation in life-or-death scenarios. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification underscores our commitment to quality, with rigorous self-auditing and inspection processes guaranteeing that every coil meets the defense industry’s exacting standards.

While initial investment in encapsulated coils may be higher due to their advanced manufacturing, their durability and reduced maintenance costs offer significant long-term value. For defense budgets stretched across multiple projects, this translates to fewer replacements and downtime, allowing resources to be allocated effectively. Our in-house production facilities in Sag Harbor, NY, and Farmville, NC, ensure efficient, American-made solutions that support the defense supply chain without compromising quality.

As a company founded in 1946 with a legacy of American innovation, Sag Harbor Industries is proud to manufacture encapsulated coils entirely in the USA. This commitment ensures a secure supply chain, critical for national defense, and supports local employment. Our experience with aerospace and military applications, honed over decades, reinforces our role as a trusted partner for defense contractors seeking high-quality, domestically produced components.

Encapsulated coils from Sag Harbor Industries provide the defense industry with unmatched durability, protection, customization, and reliability, all while offering cost-effective, American-made solutions. Whether powering next-generation weaponry or ensuring the functionality of communication arrays, these coils are engineered to perform under the most demanding conditions.
