Overview
The Fairbanks Scales 26080 encapsulated circuit board (also identified as model 26171) is an industrial-grade electronic controller component designed for platform scales and weighing systems. Manufactured in the United States by Fairbanks Scales Inc., this circuit board features complete waterproof encapsulation to ensure reliable operation in harsh environments. The encapsulation process protects all electronic components from moisture, environmental contaminants, and physical damage—critical for outdoor and wet industrial applications.
Key Features
- Complete waterproof encapsulation protects against moisture and environmental exposure
- Manufactured by Fairbanks Scales Inc., a leading industrial weighing equipment manufacturer since 1830
- Designed for reliable performance in demanding industrial scale applications
- Encapsulated construction eliminates common failure points from gland nuts, cover bolts, vibration, and temperature cycling
- Suitable for sectional controller applications in platform and truck scales
