What is Surface Mount Adhesive?
Surface Mount Adhesive (SMA), solder paste, and filled epoxies require accurate deposits to adhere SMT components to a PCB surface. Consistent dot or bead profiles are critical for bonding a broad range of components with a growing emphasis on miniaturization that is achieve with jetting valves or auger pumps.
When to Use Surface Mount Adhesive
Surface Mount Adhesive is ideal for PCBs that are populated with small components and when dispenses accuracy is critical for product reliability. Surface Mount Adhesive(s) are used prior to solder wave operation. Having a sufficient adhesive during this process is crucial to SMD alignment and accuracy.
Benefits of Surface Mount Adhesive
- High shock and vibration resistance
- Increased component to PCB density
- Improved component adherence
- Decreased assembly time
- Use with small and large components
- Full PCB utilization
