Essential Guide on Electrically Conductive Adhesives

Ever wondered if there's a better way to connect components in your electronics projects? Look no further than electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs), also known as conductive epoxies or conductive adhesives. At Kohesi Bond, we understand the importance of reliable electrical connections, and ECAs offer a unique solution for various applications.

What are Electrically Conductive Adhesives?

ECAs are specialized adhesives formulated to conduct electricity. They typically consist of a resin base that provides strong adhesion and conductive fillers, most commonly silver or nickel particles. These fillers create pathways for electrical current to flow through the adhesive.

Why Use Conductive Epoxies for Electronics?

Compared to traditional soldering methods, conductive epoxies offer several advantages:

Lower processing temperatures: ECAs cure at much lower temperatures than solder, making them ideal for heat-sensitive components.

Improved flexibility: Unlike rigid solder joints, ECAs provide a more flexible connection, better withstanding vibration and thermal stress.

Lead-free alternative: ECAs are often lead-free, aligning with environmentally friendly practices.

Precise application: Conductive epoxies allow for controlled, precise application, perfect for delicate electronics.
