New Paste Die Attach Adhesives

Ablestik has introduced a new generation of IC packaging adhesives for lead-free assembly. The ABLEBOND 2000 series of electrically conductive die attach adhesives are designed specifically for PBGA packaging and matrix-style BGA designs. These materials can withstand higher temperature reflow for lead-free electronics assembly with optimized adhesion, stress and moisture absorption. Engineered with a low modulus, these materials are suitable for a wide range of die sizes, 150 x 150 mil square to 1000 x 1000 mils square.
