There''s really no technical reason to glue capacitors to the circuit board; perhaps it was originally done to reduce shock and vibration damage from shipping long
AI Customer ServiceHot melt adhesives are ideal for situations where simplified processing, streamlined manufacturing, and end-product protection are required. Hot melt adhesive applications are
AI Customer ServiceWhy not just use a hot-melt glue? If you want a name-brand used in the
AI Customer ServiceHot melt adhesive generally sets quickly, ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the adhesive formulation. Bringing Better Ideas to the Surface through Science and
AI Customer ServiceThe common hot melt glue is for basic craft projects, materials like cloth. It is stroboscopic and will gradually absorb moisture from the ambient air, then release from hard
AI Customer ServiceJust do not get any hot glue on the pins of the capacitor as the hot glue may be conductive over time. Use it sparingly :yes:. Ardvaark . Last edited: Jan 24, 2009. interceptor
AI Customer ServiceStaking glue is required to pass shake and vibration testing for ship or aircraft parts. Capacitors are held down onto the PCB by 2 wires that will snap off during testing if the
AI Customer ServiceCrossovers that are not printed circuit boards that I am familiar with seem to have a nice hot glue used to affix capacitors.. Is there a particular brand and type of hot glue that is
AI Customer ServiceHot glue can become brittle over time -- if that''s the route you go, make sure it''s designed to stay flexible long-term. I use electrical grade silicone now, which does not cause
AI Customer Service"IF" I use hot glue to hold a cap either now or in my past career, it was done primarily using one of those cheap "crafts" glue gun that don''t get quite as hot as one of the
AI Customer ServiceHot melt glue serves for temporary holding during PCB assembly when rapid tacking is needed prior to soldering. Not suitable for permanent bonds. Not suitable for permanent bonds. The best electronics glue depends on operating
AI Customer ServiceAn excellent combination where mechanical retention or location using the adhesive is required is to use a "dab" of hotmelt glue to hold things in place initially and then
AI Customer ServiceThe common hot melt glue is for basic craft projects, materials like cloth. It is
AI Customer ServicePCB glue like epoxy, silicone, acrylic, and hot melt provide robust, electrically insulating bonds between components and substrates during fabrication, repair, and rework. Selecting the best
AI Customer Serviceif the area that the capacitor is in is relatively warm I will use silicon sealer but thats rare most of the time I use hot melt glue one of those wonderful fix everything materials
AI Customer ServiceOn home audio stuff, I glue the largest caps down but don''t typically glue anything else. I just use hot melt glue. I''m sure there''s better stuff but hey at least it''s not
AI Customer ServiceHigh-temperature hot glue is applied at up to 450F/232C, which far exceeds the maximum working temperature for polypropylene (105C) and polyester (125C~150C)
AI Customer ServiceWhy not just use a hot-melt glue? If you want a name-brand used in the electronics industry, 3M makes a few different formulations that would work for gluing
AI Customer ServiceHot melt glue can and does fail over time. RTV (silicone sealant) is much better. Make sure to use the type recommended for electrical or electronics (no acetic acid solvent.)
AI Customer ServiceWhat does everyone use for gluing large capacitors to pcb. Search The common hot melt glue is for basic craft projects, materials like cloth. It is stroboscopic and will
