| Adhesive for IDC connectors? |
| (1/1) |
| daqq:
Hi guys, I need to vibration proof (or maybe shock proof) a device that uses several IDC connectors with flat cables ( similar to this: https://uk.farnell.com/multicomp/mc-254-10-00-00-idc/connector-rcpt-10pos-2row-2-54mm/dp/2843495 ), mated into the PCB through a classic counterpart (similar to: https://uk.farnell.com/hirose-hrs/hif3fc-20pa-2-54ds-71/connector-header-20pos-2row-2/dp/2724804 ). My question is, what would you recommend to keep them in? Something like the adhesive used on tall electrolytic capacitors ( https://www.robotroom.com/Parts/Samsung-monitor-capacitors/Healthy-capacitor-with-flat-clean-top-and-flush-to-board.jpg )? Ideally something stocked at farnell that can be applied with a syringe (parts of the device are really really hard to get into with anything big. Thanks, David |

Expensive but it works nicely: Dow Corning 3145 https://uk.farnell.com/537007 |

Look for fabric tapes. These are commonly used to keep ribbon cables secure in test equipment. Example: https://nz.rs-online.com/web/p/cloth-tapes/9054214/ |

Use a latched IDC header. |

Th latched idc is okay, but sometimes you need to lock the latchs too, small dab of sillicone on them .. |
