OT: Glue a Component to PCB

autodeskguest over 18 years ago

Hello, I need to reinforce a large component on a PCB to avoid stressing the

solder joints. What have you all used to do this?

Epoxy, all purpose glue, RTV etc... ???

Thanx,

Tony

I've used super glue just fine. You don't have a lot of time to get it
positioned right, though. Epoxy is probably better. You know you have about
5 minutes from when you mix it.

Well, I just talked to one of the engineers and he is saying that there is
the possibility that epoxy will eat through the soldermask. Not so good
looking I suppose. On the upside, most of the Epoxy i looked at had very
high dielectric ratings.
