You'll be able to tell pretty soon if this will work. * Our bet is the epoxy will corrode the silver. * Another concern is that you're not fusing the silver to the copper. Why not ask the imm silver suppliers: * Alpha Level Silver [ http://www.al

Hi, Did anyone experience a problem with electrically conductive silver filled epoxy is resistive due to galvanic reaction? I'm having this problem when attaching components to Ni plated housing while conducting an experiment to cost reduction for Au

Thanks Dave, From what I remember a lot of components went away from Silver Palladium to "base metal" terminations because of the difficulties in continuation of supply & stability of price. (Something about being mined in Chechnia or the Congo?) W

Rob: Why aren't the board houses over there going to lead-free HASL [not that HASL is the most wonderful thing on the planet]? What's the price delta on an unit basis for a x-HASL, now imm Ag board? Anyhow back to the point, so, you're proposing t

We have done some work with conductive adhesives. The main lesson is: They do not adhere well to solder. * For components, a silver-palladium or gold end termination is recommended. * For substrates, gold over nickel should work well.

Sand is not a great conductor, compared to copper. Never heard of using the stuff on RF boards. Our board fabricator uses Dupont CP100, now CP101, [or something like that cuse who's going to check?] when plugging via on cheap boards. Your board fa

Hi Dave, Was planning on skipping the paste step & screen printing the adhesive straight onto the pad, then placing the component into the glue & curing. (Board has LEDs only) Regarding the lead-free HASL issue - not entirely sure on the board man

Hi Rob, I had tried printig anisotropic conductive adhesive as a replacement for solder paste. Following were my finding. Adv: - curing temp is around 120-150C as compared to 217C (Pb-free) solder. - good electrical conductivity, since it is usual

Hi, has anyone experienced discoloration of cured non-conductive epoxy? It turned from white to deep red. The parts were returned from customer and we noticed the color change and wondered what could cause epoxy discoloration.Thank you!
