Fiber optic connector bonding adhesive choosing guide

The majority of materials used for encapsulation in the optical fiber sector are primarily utilized in connectors, with a main emphasis on transparency, refractive index, and shrinkage properties. In the fiber optic connector assembly, multiple fibers are secured individually using guide grooves and adhesive for bonding, involving a combination of three fundamental procedures:

1. Position the optical fiber within the guide groove for proper alignment.
2. Apply adhesive into the guide groove using a dispenser, then secure the cover in place.
3. Use a specialized tool to secure and heat the assembly, allowing the adhesive to fully cure.

1. Glass fiber and optical fiber connector bonding achieved through high-temperature resistant wafer-level packaging, boasting features such as low temperature curing, minimal volume shrinkage, low ion volatilization, high Tg, and successful reliability testing including cold and heat cycle, shock resistance, and exposure to extreme temperatures. Recommended products: ET5360, ET5310, ET5330.

2. Joining of glass fiber and optical fiber connector with a focus on rapid low-temperature curing, offering benefits like room temperature or cold-curing options, minimal ion volatilization, transparent appearance post-curing, and passing rigorous reliability tests including environmental trials. Recommended products: ET3201, ET5311.

3. Glass fiber and optical fiber connector bonding process involving pouring followed by application of a product known for its low-temperature curing properties and transparent finish after curing. This product has successfully passed reliability tests under various conditions such as cold and heat cycles, shock resistance to extreme temperatures and humidity levels. Recommended product: ET5312.
