Stock to 5 business day delivery-every part of the process is controlled in house Consistent quality all processing is done in house Custom frames available as processing is done in house-saves your technician’s repair time, reduce the minimum order quantities and significant tooling charges and specialty tooling The base metal is 1 oz copper with chemical etchant which allows for high bond strength to the PCB which will be repaired. The dimensions of the standard frames are 60 x 40 mm. The coating is on the PCB side is a shiny tin coating. The film is a low stress epoxy film adhesive with a Tg at –60ºC. This minimizes the thermal stress on bonded parts during thermal cycling or shock testing from –55 to 150ºC. It is a clear 1mil (0.0254mm) in thickness nearly clear material. It has a shelf life 6 months minimum and is date-coded on the circuit frame to which it is bonded. Specifications: Frame Size: 57 x 38 mm (2.25" x 1.50") Material: Copper foil 0.036 mm (0.0014")-backside micro-etched for enhanced adhesion Adhesive Backing: Phenolic film adhesive 0.0254 mm (0.001") thick.

Dry Film Adhesive System- A Clean Way Damaged pads and traces can be replaced without the mess of liquid epoxy. The BEST replacement circuit frames with dry-film adhesive backing make this repair process clean and neat. Simply trim out the circuit you need and bond it to the circuit board surface using heat and pressure. The BEST dry film is superior to others as it is very clear making it easy for the repair technician to “see” what is going on to align the pad or trace to the PCB. In addition the BEST dry film is thinner than others making it sit on the PCB post repair closer in height to the original pads or traces making for a neater repair! If you are already using a dry film epoxy system see our competitive cross-reference chart here. 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. 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. Furthermore, another study demonstrated that the epoxy method yielded a greater part-pad shear strengths.
