Connector Bonding and Sealing

Connectors and plug connectors, for example for headphones or charging cables, can be easily and reliably attached to printed circuit boards using modern adhesives. The latest generation of structural and UV adhesives have a very low ion content, optimally adapted to the requirements of the electronics and automotive industries. 

Adhesives that cure at low temperatures from 60°C or dual-curing UV adhesives that set in shadow zones due to humidity are particularly suitable for bonding connectors and plug connectors. The low temperature load protects temperature-sensitive components.

After curing, Panacol adhesives are flexible, vibration-resistant and resistant to the effects of media. 

Epoxy adhesive for connector sealing on PCBs

A connector is attached to a circuit board with adhesive.

In the following table you will find a selection of Panacol adhesives that are suitable for fixing plugs and connectors. Other products or customized solutions are available on request. Technical data sheets can be downloaded by clicking on the adhesive name.
