PCB repair artisans have been involved in board level repairs for a combined 60 plus years. In addition, several BEST Inc staff members have been teaching and contributing to the procedures found in the IPC "7721 Repair and Modification of Printed Boards and Assemblies". This combined real life experience is captured through a series of "how to" slides which will guide you through the actual repair procedures. These instructions provide advanced repair technicians some "tricks of the trade" which are key when performing PCB repairs. Click here to look at these "how to" slides. Epoxy Adhesive System- Proven Reliability BEST testing has shown by using both backside micro etched circuit frames (a BEST standard) and the BEST 2-part electronics adhesive system that the bond strength of repair traces, pads and lands can approach that of the original lands, pads and traces. Even under thermal air-air shock conditions from -50ºC to 85ºC at a 30 minute dwell time over 200 cycles this adhesive system performed well. The same cannot be said about dry film bonding systems where the reliability of repaired pads, lands and traces did not hold up to such shocking environmental conditions. The variability in the application of pressure as well as the many different tips needed for the variety of surfaces make the results of the "dry film" method variable as well as the process cumbersome. In a study summarizing a variety of adhesion techniques for the repair of printed circuit board traces, the 2 part resin-hardner epoxy system has been shown to yield the best results. In another study the epoxy method was shown to yield greater part-pad shear strengths.   Learn More: Overview PCB Repair Kit Circuit Trace Repair Kit Base Board Repair Kit Epoxy Kit Land Repair Kit Pad Repair Kit Through Hole Repair Kit PCB Repair Materials Repair Kit Brochures Instructional Slides User Instructions MSDS Sheets Terms and Conditions Contact with Questions Want to know more?  We're just a friendly phone call away... 847.797.9250 Technical Questions?  Check into our Forum for professional answers today!
