Objectives :
The glue should have 2 functions
- Reinforcement of the connectors when being manipulated for plugging/unplugging or mechanical mouvements
- Insulation of some accessible pins
Applications
- Samtec connectors
- At the base of the connectors on the inner side → Reinforcement
- On the pins sticking out on the outer side → Insulation
- Grove connectors → At the base of the connectors on the inner side → Reinforcement
- Contact Plate
- BMS
- I/O
- XT Connectors → On the pins sticking out on the outer side → Insulation
- Contact Plate
- BMS
