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
