Soldering is now the standard method of making an electrical connection in all kinds of electronic devices. The printed circuit boards that are used to set up circuit for these devices are created after much effort. The printed circuit board is an assembly of components which make up a circuit. While setting up a circuit, there is something required to hold the components in place before they are soldered on. Surface mount adhesive serve this purpose very well – it holds all the components in place while soldering is performed.
Surface mount adhesive is highly effective in wave soldering techniques. In fact, it is highly popular in wave soldering. With the transition of soldering techniques from through-hole to surface mount soldering, it became increasingly important to keep the components in place while they are soldered. Just about any glue could not be used for the fear of impurities and oxidation. Surface mount adhesives are a special glue that does not interfere with soldering process.
The interesting fact is that surface mount adhesives are evolving, and have been developed further to be compatible with lead-free soldering as well. In addition to wave soldering, these adhesives can also be used with surface mount technique. Compatibility of these adhesives with liquid fluxes has also been achieved.
Surface mount adhesives can be deposited on the printed circuit board using many methods – jetting, needle dispensing method and stencil printing. Research is still ongoing regarding performance of these adhesives with various fluxes and flux-cored solder wires.
These adhesives have greatly improved accuracy of printing circuit boards. Pasting the components accurately in place ensures error-free connections.
