Creative Materials 125-22-F and 126-37-F electrically conductive adhesive films

Creative Materials introduces its series of isotropic and anisotropic B-stage electrically conductive adhesive films. Both series are available in sheets and as custom preforms to user-specified geometries.

125-22-F is an isotropically conductive series of films available in standard thicknesses of 1–5 mm; other thicknesses can be requested. 126-37-F is an anisotropically conductive series of films and is recommended for use at 1 or 2 mm thicknesses. Another version of 126-37-F accommodates atypical bond-line thicknesses and contact pitches. All of these films and preforms are supplied on an easy-to-remove release liner.

The products offer good thermal stability and high temperature properties to 162°C, electrical conductivity, chemical resistance when fully cured, adhesion to a wide variety of high-energy surfaces, minimal flow during bonding and curing, and low CTE. Cure temperatures as low as 100°C can be used.

Both products are typically used in conductive splicing of ribbon cables, PTF circuits, electrical attachment of surface-mounted devices and assembly of electrical and electronic components. The anisotropic product is used when shorts between closely spaced contacts is a concern.
