You're right, manufacturers time/temps will vary. A single manufacturer will have a host of materials with different cure schedules. We currently use 2 epoxies that cure in 2 - 3 minutes at 150�C. One will also cure in 5 minutes at 125�C. Talk t

Travis: I just checked. You're correct. It's a SMD-310, circa 1985 with a 12" wide mesh belt and a screamin' three zones of solder meltin' fury.

Could anyone please give me some insight on the time/temperature requirements for curing SMT adhesive used for a high temperature (96/4 solder) application in a bake oven, rather than using reflow? I understand that it would probably vary from epoxy

Gary: It doesn't matter what you use to cure your glue. SMA adhesives are thermosets. This means they become hard on cure and this is not reversible. A couple of things go on with SMA adhesives when you heat them. * Their rheology is temperature

An adhesive, is an adhesive, is an adhesive. Yes most will thin when exposed to elevated temperature, but that's only for a short time. As cross-linking starts, viscosity increases. Having made countless numbers of adhesively bonded samples in the

I used a Blue M batch oven quite a bit to cure in works great. All you have to do is get the board up to cure temperature, 150C normally and your all set. It will probably be in there longer than the time required but at that low temperature it shoul

I�m unclear about the intent of your question, but I�ll take a pass at it regardless. I second the previous poster's commets. [Ya, that's the ticket.] Most chip attach adhesives should not be cured at typical reflow profile temperatures. Check yo

I appreciate both of your responses. I spoke with a tech rep at a distributor of the Loctite 3609 and asked him if this adhesive can be cured using a bake oven (Blue M, Despatch, etc.), rather than convection/IR. He stated that he's never heard of

SCC3 has an operating temperature of 200C, as long as it is heat cured at 100C. https://www.electrolube.com/pdf/tds/044/DCA.pdf It's also a silicone so needs to be coated & cured away from anything you value. Otherwise there are plenty of PU's and

I know this is not the correct forum to post chip "reworking" questions but you guys have been very helpful in the past. My question is this, when we rework BGA components most of the time the solder reflows at a normal temp and all is well. On occ
