Hi all, I need some help on understanding conductive adhesive. I have an application that involves a membrane switch made of polyester. We have a resistor in line with one of the traces that is attached by the conductive adhesive. The problem I see is possibly the resistor pulling away from the adhesive causing intermediate readings. Since the polyester is flexible, we had the company that makes the switch apply a thicker piece of polyester to act as a stiffener. But I believe this may not be good enough to support the resistor. I looked under a microscope and saw that there was a small gap between the resistor and the adhesive and I used a tool to push on the adhesive and was surprised that it was soft in texture. Does all conductive adhesive remain soft or is there others that would harden? Maybe with the polyester being so flexible you need the same from the adhesive. Also, the switch company applies the resistor by hand and basically the adhesive gets smashed out under the switch. How good is conductive adhesive when it comes to adhering to the resistor? It's nothing like solder that flows to create a good bond. I'm not sure how I can tell if I have a good connection. If any of you have any insight on this subject I would appreciate your help. Thanks for your time. Regards, Jim West Manufacturing Engineer
