Material Notes:
Product Description: EPO-TEK® E2116 is a two component, silver-filled and stencil printable electrically conductive adhesive for bonding SMDs onto PCB and substrates. Can be used as a “lead-free” alternative in circuit assembly applications found in semiconductor, medical, consumer and hybrid/military industries. Advantages & Application Notes: The thixotropic and paste-like rheology allows for application by screen or stencil printing techniques. It was designed to be printed for SMT joining similar to printing solder paste. It may also be hand applied or dispensed.A “lead-free” solution for PCB level circuit assemblies. It is suggested to use this epoxy with SMDs that do not contain Pb plated leads. Preferable to solder: Lead-free can be an environmental advantageSilver epoxy curing at 150°C is a lower temperature solution than 180-220°C SMT solder reflow.Electrically conductive adhesives can be used on flip chips and ultra-fine pitch count SMDs, avoiding the problems of solder bridging.NASA approved low outgassing epoxyCan be used on mixed technology hybrid substrates or PCBs. Adhesive deposit, pick-and-place, and cure can be accomplished in single step fashion.Alternate versions are available - contact techserv@epotek.com for best recommendation.Suggested surface finishes, contact pads, or leads: Ag, Ag-Pd, Au, and Cu. Compatible with PCBs including FR4, BT, ceramic, and flex circuits.Information Provided by Epoxy Technology
