Conductive Gluing –
Components with different metallization
 It is known that some materials are more suitable for conductive
gluing while others – for soldering. A comparison of shear strength
of glued SMDs with AgPd and Au connectors.

Conductive Gluing
vs. Soldering - Summary




Larger bonding area means stronger bond
Larger bonding area tends to cause wider bond strength spread
Soldering generally better than gluing
Termination material aspect has an influence
