Our current adhesive of choice is RTV. Unfortunately it has a long cure time and may be banned from use in products going to the European Union in the coming years. Our application is bonding 4 capacitors together. The adhesive needs to be thick (medium to high viscosity) so it won't sag, drip or run before curing. UV cure would be best from a time standpoint. A "glob" of about 1/4" should be about right for this bonding application. The capacitors have an epoxy coating and the operating temperature is about 50° C maximum submerged in a dielectric oil. Electrical or thermal conductivity is not needed. Method of application is expected to be via small air actuated syringe or similar. Anyone want to put in their 2¢? Sales calls offline please.
