Heraeus Electronics Whitepaper: 

Solderable Polymer Thick Film Conductors Meet Low-Temperature Substrate Demands

In our in-depth technical whitepaper we dive into the world of Polymer Thick Film (PTF) conductors, their solderability and adhesion.

Polymer Thick Film (PTF) technology has been a critical part of the electronics industry for over 70 years, offering a cost-effective solution for manufacturing electronic circuits on low temperature substrates. Because of its ability to cure at low temperatures, PTF technology is ideal for substrates such as Kapton, PET, FR4, and other temperature-sensitive substrates. However, a key challenge in the global adoption of this technology has been the lack of solderability of polymer conductors and their degradation of adhesion when exposed to higher temperatures.

Find out how Heraeus Electronics addresses this limitation with the introduction of LTC3510, a truly SAC305 solderable polymer conductor paste designed to be used in traditional solder reflow oven profiles.
