5、ilized 2016-08 Revised 2017-07 Superseding AMS3681D Adhesive, Electrically Conductive Silver-Filled Epoxy Resin RATIONALE The test method for volume resistivity is being updated to permit use of MIL-STD-883, Method 5011.6 since the incumbent ASTM D257 provides no test method for conductive adhesives

6、. 1. SCOPE 1.1 Form This specification covers an electrically-conductive adhesive supplied as two components, a silver-filled, epoxy-base adhesive and a separate curing agent which may be paste or liquid. 1.2 Application This adhesive has been used typically for providing an electrically-conductive

7、bond between surfaces and as an electrically-conductive sealing compound, but usage is not limited to such applications. 1.2.1 Caution is required in using this adhesive in applications where high humidity prevails or in the presence of moisture; under these conditions, the silver particles in this

8、adhesive can produce corrosion cells in contact with other metals which are lower in the electromotive series. Silver migration or whisker growth may also occur between points of unequal electrical potential. 1.3 Safety - Hazardous Materials While the materials, methods, applications, and processes

9、described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to

10、take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS3681E Page 2 of 5 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS The issue of the following documents in effect on the date of the purchase order forms a part of this specification to the extent specified

11、herein. The supplier may work to a subsequent revision of a document unless a specific document issue is specified.

QUALIT

23、Y ASSURANCE PROVISIONS 4.1 Responsibility for Inspection The manufacturer of the adhesive shall supply all samples and shall be responsible for all required tests. Purchaser reserves the right to sample and to perform any confirmatory testing deemed necessary to ensure that the adhesive conforms to

24、specified requirements. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS3681E Page 4 of 5 4.2 Classification of Tests All technical requirements are acceptance tests; however, preproduction tests shall also include such additional tests required by purchaser and shall be performed prior to or on the initial shipment of adhesi

25、ve by the manufacturer, on each lot, when a change in ingredients and/or processing requires reapproval as in 4.4.2, and when purchaser deems confirmatory testing to be required. 4.2.1 For direct U.S. Military procurement, substantiating test data and, when requested, preproduction test material sha

26、ll be submitted to the cognizant agency as directed by the procuring activity, contracting officer, or request for procurement. 4.3 Sampling and Testing Sufficient adhesive shall be taken at random from each lot to perform all required tests. The number of determinations for each requirement shall b

27、e as specified in the applicable test procedure or, if not specified therein, not less than three. 4.3.1 A lot shall be all adhesive produced in a single production run from the same batch of raw materials under the same fixed conditions, or all adhesive subjected to the same unit chemical or physic

28、al process intended to make the final product homogeneous, and submitted for manufacturers inspection at one time. An inspection lot shall not exceed 500 pounds (227 kg). 4.4 Approval 4.4.1 Sample adhesive shall be approved by purchaser before adhesive for production use is supplied, unless such app

29、roval be waived by purchaser. 4.4.2 Manufacturer shall use ingredients, manufacturing procedures, processes, and methods of inspection on production adhesive which are essentially the same as those used on the approved sample. If necessary to make any change in ingredients, in type of equipment for
