Apply adhesive to varistor

The use of adhesives on Pressure-Sensitive resistors (PSRS) is quite common. A varistor is a material whose resistance value changes when pressure is applied and is therefore widely used in sensing, control, and detection applications.

When making and using varistors, the use of adhesives can achieve the following objectives:

1. Fixation and installation: Using adhesive, the varistor can be firmly fixed in the desired position to ensure that the resistance element does not move or fall off during operation.
2. Insulation and protection: Adhesives can provide a layer of insulation and protection to prevent the varistor from coming into contact with the external environment or other materials, thereby extending its life and stability.
3. Uniform distribution of pressure: In some applications, adhesives can help achieve uniform distribution of pressure, so that external pressure can be more accurately detected or measured.
4. Adhesive properties: The selection of adhesives can be made according to the characteristics of the varistor and the required substrate to ensure that the adhesive provides adequate adhesive properties.
5. Reduce resonance: In some applications, adhesives can reduce the resonance or oscillation of the varistor, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the sensor.

When choosing the right adhesive, the following factors need to be considered:

– Adhesive type: Select the type of adhesive that is suitable for varistor and substrate, such as emulsion type, double-sided adhesive, silicone, etc.

– Adhesion properties: Ensure that the adhesive has sufficient adhesion properties to adhere stably under the required temperature and environmental conditions.

Electrical conductivity: In some applications, it may be necessary to consider the electrical conductivity of the adhesive to ensure that it does not affect the electrical properties of the varistor.

– Environmental adaptability: According to the characteristics of the application environment, choose adhesives with sufficient temperature resistance and humidity resistance.

– Application method: Consider the construction and application method of the adhesive to ensure that it can be evenly coated or fixed on the varistor.

In summary, the correct selection and application of adhesives can help optimize the performance and stability of varistors, thereby improving their effectiveness in sensing and control applications.
