Conducting glue

[Phil Morland]

Hi folks,

 

Does anyone know of a glue that will conduct low voltage electricity (3V) for use on printed circuit boards? Ta,

 

Phil.

There's a product called wire glue

 

Found this on the net

 

No more solder

 

Carbon is one of our favorite elements. It makes diamonds, it makes all known life possible, and it makes pencils (and who doesn't love pencils?) Also, it seems that carbon fullerenes (buckeyballs, nanotubes, etc) are going to do a lot in our future. Time to bring a little of that microcarbon goodness into your home and make it work for you now. "Wire Glue" Conductive Glue uses microcarbon technology to make a glue that also conducts electricity.

 

That's right - no need for solder anymore; now you have Wire Glue! It acts like a glue, it acts like a wire, it tastes like . . . just kidding - don't eat it, and it's stupendously-awesome-incredible. Put simply, it sticks bits together and allows electricity to flow between them. Wire Glue is great for repairing wires, gluing together electronic kits, and really, is a great safe (i.e. no heat) way of introducing children to electrical engineering. Get some now, and get in on the microcarbon revolution early.

 

"Wire Glue" Conductive Glue

•Using the latest advances in microcarbon technology, this glue actually conducts electricity.

•Lead free.

•For both AC and DC low voltage circuits.

•Drying Time: To touch: 2 hours; Through: 12 to 48 hours (Depending upon temperature, relative humidity coating thickness, and substrate).

•Density: 0.6 grams per cubic centimeter.

•Application Temperature Range: 40°F (4°C) to 110°F (43°C)

•Service Temperature Range: 0°F (-17.8°C) to 180°F (82.2°C) constant; -20°F (-29°C ) to 200°F (93°C) intermittent

•Wet Flammability Information: No flash to boiling (212°F) closed cup.

•Conductivity: 13.16 Ohms per cubic centimeter.

•Net Wt.: 0.3 fl oz of Wire Glue.

Thanks for that. Looks like what I'm after, except drying times a bit prohibitive for what I want it for. Max 1 hour drying time would be good but hey, beggars can't be choosers. Ta mate,

A life time ago I used a silver loaded paint to repair a heated rear window on my Cortina estate. Worked a treat.

How about:- http://www.maplin.co.uk/electrically-co ... aint-36275

or search RS components

for conductive paint.

Interesting, but don't think it would be any good for me as it needs to be a glue. It's for refixing the battery holder to the printed circuit board on many Vauxhall remote key heads which due to bad design are forever coming away. Normally I'd solder but these have blind locating holes and you can't get even the thinnest solder iron blade in there.......

Get a piece of copper wire got thick enough to go into the board.

Solder the end of the wire, or better still all of it.

Place the endo the wire into the hole on the board or just place it on the top.

Heat the wire to melt the solder.

Then the other end of the wire can be soldered to the battery holder.

 

I did this but soldered direct to the battery as there was no battery holder.

Aclean area and fluxed solder are needed.
