Reliability of Glued SMD Components on Smart Textile

The paper deals with temperature ageing reliability of joints glued by non-conductive adhesive (NCA) onto the conductive ribbon. The samples prepared with NCA were accelerated aged at 85 °C temperature for 1000 hours. The samples were also stretched on 150 % of their relaxed length during the ageing. The main aim of the experiment was to verify the possibility of NCA using to make a conductive connection of components onto the ribbon. The joints electrical resistance was measured before, during and after ageing. The results show that using this technology for standard use of ribbons is suitable and reliable.
