Epoxy glue is used as a Surface Mount Adhesive (SMA) to attach and maintain Surface Mount Devices (SMD) to the PCB surface throughout placement and wave soldering.

Since the development of single component epoxy technology for use as an SMA, the methods of application themselves have evolved, driven by the requirements for increased assembly speed and improved process repeatability.

Adhesive stencil printing utilises existing production technology and techniques to optimise the efficiency required from a Surface Mount line, particularly relevant when densely populated assemblies are processed. Total print times of less than 15 seconds are achievable.
