3M boasts an extensive range of materials designed to meet the quality, protection and performance needs of the electronics manufacturing industry.
Included in this range is acrylate-based UV and visible light curing adhesives that bond in seconds and are ideal for a broad range of PCB, component and micro assembly applications, including wire tacking, encapsulation, potting, sealing and lens bonding. Also available are Z-Axis, heat-cured adhesive films with low electrical resistance and high stability, suitable for fine pitch, polyimide or printed ink/polyester flexible circuit connections.
Thermally conductive tape secured by an acrylic adhesive with highly conductive ceramic particles provide a highly reliable thermal interface. This thermally conductive tape is ideal for cooling or heating applications. 3M’s XYZ-Axis electrically conductive tape is pressure sensitive for precision working on metallic finished surfaces. Both of these tapes can be supplied in die-cut or roll form.
A choice of three-layer thermo bonding films is available that adhere in seconds to a variety of plastics and metals, and give the precision and flexibility of film. These solvent-free films can be die-cut into precise shapes and sizes for heated manual or automated application.
