How to Select Inductor Fixing Adhesives: Fluidity, Thixotropy and Temperature Resistance Must Be Considered Simultaneously
Inductors, coils and magnetic cores are key components in power modules, filters, automotive electronic control units, communication equipment and industrial control systems. During transportation vibration, equipment operation and temperature cycling, inductors may shift, and magnetic cores can become loose due to mechanical shock. Solder joints bear sustained loads from component weight and vibration, which easily leads to fatigue cracking. Applying fixing adhesives to structurally reinforce inductor bases, magnetic cores and coils can share stress on solder joints and improve long-term reliability. I. Three Core Considerations for Selecting Inductor Fixing Adhesives Can the adhesive stay in the designated area? Inductors are usually surrounded by pads, pins and other components. Adhesives with excessive fluidity tend to flow and contaminate restricted zones. For…
