Miniaturization

Electrically conductive adhesives are critical in electronics as they enable reliable connections in compact designs without the bulk and heat challenges of traditional soldering.

Reliability

Electrically conductive, non-conductive, and film adhesives are essential for mission-critical applications, as they provide robust bonding, electrical performance, and thermal management in highly demanding environments.

Large-area bonding

Film adhesives are crucial as they provide uniform thickness, consistent conductivity properties, and enhanced structural integrity across extensive surfaces.

What are electronic component bonding solutions?

Electronic component bonding solutions, also known as component assembly materials, are adhesives that secure components to substrates to enable these components to function and prevent unwanted movement or shifts. Electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs) are highly filled materials that enable electrical connection and offer an alternative to conventional solders. Non-conductive adhesives deliver structural integrity, insulation, and endurance to extend a product’s useful life. Finally, the epoxy based assembly films are some of the most trusted materials for high-reliability applications like aerospace, where electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance are equally critical. 

Why use electronic component bonding solutions?

There are numerous reasons a systems designer might specify adhesives in certain situations. For example, when high temperature solder processing may damage temperature-sensitive components, low temperature cure electrically conductive adhesives are the ideal solution. In aerospace electronics, which are often subjected to extremely high heat, Henkel assembly films maintain adhesion strength even at elevated operational temperatures. Diverse requirements demand diverse solutions, and Henkel’s broad portfolio of electronic component bonding materials delivers.
