It might seem basic, but it's important we start off our discussion by defining what an enclosure is and explain why we created a whole educational series on enclosures. Keep reading to see our break down of the role of enclosures across a range of industries, from [battery](https://marianinc.com/non-automotive-battery/) to [medical](https://marianinc.com/markets/medical/) to [electronics](https://marianinc.com/markets/electronics/) and more, and get an introduction to some of the organizations that set the standards for enclosures all over the world.  [Read More](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/enclosure-design-basics) Topics: [Foams](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/foams), [EMI Shielding](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/emi-shielding), [IP Rating](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/ip-rating), [LED Lighting](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/led-lighting), [BISCO Silicone](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/bisco-silicone), [PORON](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/poron), [Medical Device](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/medical-device), [Ingress Protection](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/ingress-protection), [Gasket](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/gasket), [Electronics](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/electronics), [Enclosure Institute](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/enclosure-institute), [Seals](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/seals), [Enclosures](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/enclosures), [Rogers Corporation](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/rogers-corporation), [Data Center](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/data-center) ## [Die-Cut Components in Digital Displays](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/display-components) Posted by [Brook Girkin](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/author/brook-girkin) September 23, 2024 12:00 PM [![Die-Cut Components in Digital Displays](https://blog.marianinc.com/hubfs/display%20components%20featured%20photo%20version%202.jpg)](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/display-components) [Digital displays](https://marianinc.com/digital-display-components/) are an integral part of [modern vehicle dashboards](https://marianinc.com/automotive-interior-solutions/), household appliances, [consumer electronics](https://marianinc.com/markets/electronics/), and more. In applications like thermostats, cell phones, smart watches, and [vehicles](https://marianinc.com/markets/automotive/), displays allow a simplified, interactive experience for users.

This amazing PTFE material is designed to allow air to pass through while acting as a firm barrier to water and dust.  Outdoor LED Lighting enclosures contain electronics assemblies that must be protected from the elements (rain, dirt, debris). As LED lights operate, they generate heat. As the enclosure heats up and cools down through the cycle of operation, the internal pressure changes. Without the ability to relieve this pressure, the enclosure can sustain damage and condensation can form. Both situations can be detrimental to the successful operation of the LED lighting system.  PTFE membrane vents are a cost-effective way to protect your LED product. They keep dust and liquids out of the enclosure and relieve positive pressure or negative pressure within the enclosure.

These innovative materials homogenize and directionally shape light with high-transmission efficiency. Applications that could benefit from this technology are LED lighting, architectural lighting, recessed downlighting, signs & displays. Light-diffusing films are available with three types of angles: circular, elliptical, and linear. - Circular spread a light source into a larger circular pattern, and for this reason, they are used widely across many industries.  - Elliptical diffuser angles include 80 x 50, and 60 x 10. Common applications include hallways and specialty lighting that highlights a specific area.  - Linear diffusers, typically 60 x 1 (60 along the width, and 1 along the length) are commonly used in applications where light must be diffused into a line (for example, a bar code scanner).  [Read More](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/luminit-light-shaping-diffusers) Topics: [Manufacturing](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/manufacturing), [LED Lighting](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/led-lighting) ## [3M Flame Barrier FRB for LED Luminaires](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/3m-frb-for-led-luminaires) Posted by [Katie Sullivan](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/author/katie-sullivan) January 20, 2016 12:12 PM [![3M Flame Barrier FRB for LED Luminaires](https://blog.marianinc.com/hubfs/3M-FRB.png)](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/3m-frb-for-led-luminaires) ## **What is 3M™ FRB?  ** It is thin flexible insulation made primarily of inorganic materials that is easily converted.

There are many components included in an outdoor lighting assembly, and one of the most important elements is a [gasket](https://marianinc.com/gaskets-and-seals/). When choosing a material for an outdoor lighting gasket, it's imperative to understand the mechanics of an outdoor lighting fixture.

This heat can have an adverse effect on the LED and therefore must be managed to ensure the true benefits of this technology are realized. If excessive junction temperatures are reached, particularly above the maximum operating temperature of the LED (~120-150˚C), a non-recoverable effect could occur, leading to complete failure. **Operating temperature is directly related to the lifetime of the LED; the higher the temperature, the shorter the LED life.** [Read More](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/thermal-management-in-led-light-assemblies) Topics: [Thermal Management](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/thermal-management), [LED Lighting](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/led-lighting) [All posts](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/all) This is a search field with an auto-suggest feature attached. -
