Electrical components need to be protected in a wide range of applications. Whether they are in automotive or industrial electronics, it’s crucial that chips and PCBs are shielded from mechanical stress and harsh chemicals. Examples of an application with vulnerable parts are exhaust sensors used in engine control, or the components used in hot gear…

Last month, we explained that adhesives have more benefits than simply bonding two components together. Now we will discuss one of those benefits: how transparent adhesives are used to enhance optical materials for lenses. Today, micro-optics are found in a multitude of units, including LED flash modules, infrared sensors, ambient light sensors, proximity sensors, as…

In general, we think that adhesives are only used to bond one component to another. And although that is one of its primary functions, it is not its only function. Adhesives can be used for tension equalizing or conducting electricity. As a matter of fact, they have multiple functions and uses that many of us…
