Electrolube SMA10SL Paste Adhesive, 10 ml

Electrolube Surface Mount Adhesive 10 ml Syringe

Introducing the surface mount adhesive 10 ml syringe from Electrolube, a 1-part heat curable thixotropic adhesive ideal for creating a secure bond with a range of applications. The SMA10SL features high "green strength" that prevents components from moving during handling and before curing, creating a strong and reliable bond. The SMA10SL offers a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +130°C, making it perfect for use with surface mount assemblies. Once cured, the surface mount adhesive from Electrolube remains flexible yet strong, ensuring components are not stressed and remain securely in place.

Application

Thermal adhesives are a type of thermally conductive adhesive used to secure heat sinks and electronic components. Thermal adhesives are available in a number of mediums such as thermal paste, glue, tape and more. They work by creating a strong bond for heatsinks or electrical parts commonly via a two-part epoxy resin with thermal conductivity capabilities, drawing heat away from a device. Thermal adhesives are used in a variety of industries and applications such as:

• Heat sink bonding
• Potting/encapsulating sensors
• BGA die heat spreader interface
• Chip scale packages
• Power semiconductors

How to apply

Before applying, ensure surfaces are clean and free from grease, dust and contaminants. Apply a small amount to the components to be bonded and leave to cure, following the recommended cure profiles:

• 60 secs @ 150°C
• 3-4 mins @ 120°C
• 30 mins @ 90°C

Can this thermal adhesive be removed?

Thermal adhesives such as grease and pastes can be removed if required using a combination of a thermal adhesive remover (or high concentrate rubbing alcohol) and a lint free micro fibre cloth. Please note special care must be taken when removing thermal compounds and protective clothing must be worn at all times.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

The maximum operating temperature of this thermally conductive sealant is +130°C.
