| Product Description: EPO-TEK® OE188 is a low CTE, designed for semiconductor and fiber optic applications. Advantages & Application Notes: - Paste-like viscosity allows for application by dispensing, or hand methods such as toothpick, spatula or pin transfer.
- Color change upon cure – off-white to amber-brown - allows easy visual inspection.
- The CTE value below the Tg keeps potential stress to a minimum.
- Suggested applications:
- Fiber Optic Packaging
- Sealing fiber into the snout, ferrule, or feed-through of the opto-package.
- Mounting optics, such as lenses, diodes, prisms, onto the substrate or “optical bench.”
- Adhesive for building the optical bench to the correct Z-height.
- “Toughened” adhesive to prevent fiber from the “piston effect”.
- Semiconductor
- As underfill of flip chip devices and SMDs like BGAs, capacitors and resistors.
- Medical
- As an alternative to EPO-TEK® 353ND for moisture resistance.
- Capable of short cure cycles at low temperature, such as 80°C.
