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

Look for fabric tapes.
These are commonly used to keep ribbon cables secure in test equipment.

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 ..
