2025-07-01

1. Failure Mechanisms & Requirements

Failure Mode Trigger Condition Material Requirement
Adhesive cracking Thermal cycling (-40~150℃) CTE≤60ppm/°C
Strength degradation 150℃×1000h aging Strength retention ≥80%
Yellowing/carbonization Oxidation @150℃ OIT >30min
Conductive adhesive migration E-field + heat Volume resistivity >10¹²Ω·cm

2. Adhesive System Comparison

Type Example Product Temp Resistance Pros/Cons
Modified Epoxy Henkel Loctite ABLESTIK 3630 180℃ long-term High strength (>25MPa), brittle
SilICone Dow Corning SE 4480 200℃ long-term Flexible (elongation>150%), needs primer
Polyimide (PI) Duplex 892 300℃ short-term Radiation-resistant, high cure temp
Cyanate Ester Lonza CYCOM 5575 180℃ long-term Low Df (<0.005), expensive
