Loctite offers various SMD adhesives, also known as chip bonders or SMA (surface mount adhesives), including Loctite 3609, Loctite 3619, Loctite 3621, Loctite 3612 and Loctite 3616. In the following article, we explain what SMD adhesives are and introduce the Loctite chip bonders mentioned. <\/p>\n\n

What are SMD adhesives, SMA and chip bonders?<\/h2>\n\n

SMD adhesives are used to fix electronic components to a circuit board before they are soldered by wave soldering (wave soldering), whereby the components can be small computer chips, but also large electronic devices.<\/p>\n\n

SMD stands for “surface-mounted device”, which means “surface-mounted component”. So when we talk about SMD adhesives, we mean adhesives for surface-mounted components, for which there is also the term “surface mount adhesives” (SMA), which can be translated as “adhesives for surface mounting”. Another term for SMD adhesive or SMA is “chip bonder”. <\/p>\n\n

Loctite SMD adhesives<\/h2>\n\n

With Henkel SMD adhesives, the Loctite chip bonders, a distinction is made between those for dispensing printing and those for screen printing. In the following overview, you can find out which of the Loctite SMD adhesives available from the Henkel distributor abovo are suitable for the respective printing process, what curing time they have and what printing speeds are possible. Following the overview table, we present some of the properties of the respective Loctite chip bonders. <\/p>\n\n
