Frequently Asked Questions about Electronics Assembly Adhesives
How are adhesives useful to the assembly of electronic components?
The use of adhesives in electronic assembling is widespread today. These adhesives help the manufacturing process, the long-term operation and the longevity of the electronics. The main applications of adhesives in electronics are:
- Bonding surface-mount components (SMCs)
- Wire tacking and potting
- Encapsulating components
Which adhesives must be converted by adding a filler to convert them into being electronically conductive?
Electrically conductive adhesives are needed in many applications, including coordinated PCBs and surface-mounted gadgets. Most adhesives are not electrically conductive and need to be converted by adding a filler to the base material. Often, this filler is silver, enabling the electric current throughout the product to be possible.
Adhesives that require filler to convert them into electronic conductors are:
- Cyanoacrylate
- Epoxies
- Silicones
- Urethane acrylates
How do adhesives overcome the constraints of electronic design?
The following specifications help to overcome design constraints:
- Smooth aspect: the adhesives add only a marginal weight to the device. Many require only a tiny quantity of material to provide high performance, helping to avoid a bulky appearance and giving a more stylish design.
- Resistance to challenging environments: numerous adhesives are heat resistant, cold resistant, UV resistant, water resistant, or chemical resistant. If your appliance meets these requirements, ensure your bond will maintain its performance over the long term.
- Versatility: adhesives can be applied cleanly and create a low-profile bond that won't disrupt the aesthetics of thin devices. They can also work with various substrates to bond dissimilar surfaces.
