Conductive adhesives
Conductive adhesives provide an effective solution for EMC shielding as well as grounding applications where both mechanical bonding and reliable electrical conductivity are required.
Electrical conductivity is achieved through a densely loaded adhesive matrix containing conductive particles, creating a strong and effective electrical path between mating surfaces. These adhesives are designed for use as a thin bond line between two components but can also be used for larger gap filling and environmental sealing applications.
Available as single-component RTV silicones and two-part conductive epoxy systems with a variety of conductive filler options.
