Hey all,

 

Wish I hadn't lost that hour of sleep this weekend, I'll try to find it
tonight. :o)

 

Anyways, have any of you thought of trying to replace solder with a
conductive adhesive for PCB assembly? There's a few out there (Henkel,
Cookson, Ellsworth, etc.) that are touting them as solder replacements.

 

When I read the technical datasheets, I'm thinking to myself, why isn't this
stuff more widely used? There must be a reason. 

 

I do know it's pretty expensive almost all of them are silver filled, and I
have read that the mechanical strength and thermal conductivity is not as
good as solder, but what other reasons are out there not to use it?

 

Steve
