Q.  What adhesive can be used to fix POL LED optics onto the PCB?

A. The POL optics can be attached to the PCB with a range of adhesives including epoxies, silicone based flexible adhesives or special super-glues. The final choice of the adhesive will depend on the final product application working environment. However, for most applications, POL recommend using Loctite 460 which is a cyno-acrylate “super glue” type adhesive which is a specially formulated low odour, low bloom adhesive for clear plastics. This adhesive will not produce the white cloudiness which occurs with other “super-glue” types and forms a strong bond in seconds between the optics holder (or 7 Cell Cluster Optic legs) and the PCB. Further information on this, and other adhesives, can be found at www.loctite.co.uk

Q.  Do POL’s range of LED optics comply with the latest RoHS directive requirements?

A.  Yes, the entire range of POL’s Standard LED Optic Products comply with the RoHS requirements, as stated in our “RoHS Compliance Statement” which can be downloaded here.
