I'm looking for an adhesive to attach a metal can to the PCB to stop it from vibrating. The temperature spec is -50C(-58F) to 85C(62.8F). Thanks for the help Erik

DaveF, would the adhesive be strong enough to keep the part from vibrating free over time? DO you know any part numbers? These inductors have quite a high mass. I would profer to lay them down on thier side but there is not enough room.

We don't think chip mount adhesives have very good sheer strength. If there's any flex induced during vibration, we doubt them to be a good choice.

Wow, you're using the Surface Mount Adhesive for mechanical vibration? I've never heard of SMT adhesive being used for things other than holding the components in place before wave solder. Does it work for mechanical purposes? Glue/Wave is a proce

Hello, I am experiencing a high pitched noise coming from a computer component and I think it might be the 18 inductors they have placed on the PCB as part of the VRM. I am think of using a 2 part Thermal Conductive Adhesive and fix all the inducto

Essentially, you want to ruggedize this component. Various adhesives could work great, depending on the source of the energy that is causing the solder connection fatigue. So, what are your looking to: * Rigidly bond the component to the board? * A

ol' hege has got to agree with Chunks and Dave. Seems every time there is a problem, the finger is first pointed at the process. For my $.02 it doesn't matter if your process is 100% bulletproof, procurement will screw it up by finding a vendor that

In BIG-boy, high vibration applications to secure large components, we've used 3M #2214 structural adhesive [One part, 250*F (121*C) curing 100% solids, paste consistency epoxy adhesives designed for bonding metals and many high temperature plastics

We experiences some failures on PCB assemblies from the field when a methacrylate epoxy adhesive was used to secure some through-hole components to pcb board as reinforcement against vibration. During application, the epoxy covered some smaller SMT c

Most RTV's depend on atmospheric moisture to cure. You can put them in an oven with a pan of water and that will speed up the cure. I'd suggest about 150 to 180 degree F, time period to depend on the thickness of the RTV. You'll have to do some tests
