Adhesives for Fiber Array Assemblies

Product information "Adhesives for Fiber Array Assemblies"

Viscosity 70->20,000 mPas; Shear Bond Strength > 69->200 kgf/cm²; Bending Adhesion Strength 9-25 kgf/cm²; UV Curing Conditions 10-100 mW/cm², 5, 10 min; Colour Light Yellow, Colourless, White; Tg +42-+219 °C

NTT-AT’s series of adhesives for fiber array assemblies feature high moisture resistance and excellent workability for v-groove fixing or optical fiber fixing.

Fiber arrays are used for the input and output of optical waveguide devices. NTT-AT’s AT3925M, AT9390, AT9968, AT3727E and AT3728E epoxy-based optical adhesives are used for fixing the v-grooves and have realized price reductions while enhancing moisture resistance compared to conventional products. These adhesives can be polished after assembly.

NTT-AT’s AT9575M (epoxy) and AT8105 (acrylate) adhesives for optical fiber fixing have gained popularity for their good workability as non-fluid adhesives.

NTT-AT has executed durability tests that have shown no peeling of a fiber array after 2,000 hours at +85 °C and 85% of humidity. With viscosities that are appropriate for the usage location, the adhesives for fiber array assemblies are easy to use. While the adhesives for fixing v-grooves show fluidity, the optical fiber fixing adhesives’ consistency is that of a paste, suitable for protecting the fiber.

In case you need any consulting regarding issues related to adhesion, please contact the AMS Technologies optical adhesives experts to discuss the detailed challenges of your application.

NEOCLEAN Optical Connector Cleaners
Cleaning Tools for Connectors, Plugs & Adapters; Pen, Simple or Stick Types; Connector Types MU, LC, SC, SC2, FC, FAS, FA, ST, E2000, PC/APC, ODC, MPO, MPT, ATC, Ø1.25 mm, Ø2.5mm; No Alcohol or Solvents NTT-AT’s NEOCLEAN series of fiber optical connector cleaners are tools that combine compactness with the workability of one-push cleaning. NEOCLEAN tools remove dirt you can’t even see, without scratching the connector’s end face. Designed to work with dedicated microfiber tissue, the NEOCLEAN series of fiber optical connector cleaners allows all operators to consistently achieve high quality cleaning without alcohol or other solvents.With NEOCLEAN-E, NEOCLEAN-EZ and NEOCLEAN-M/M2, the NEOCLEAN line of pen type fiber optical connector cleaners provides a line-up of nine different high performance hybrid type cleaners that provide cleaning for a broad range of both optical connector plugs and adaptors in one unit. The NEOCLEAN-E simple one push action cleans the ferrule end face in device adapters. Its cleaning cartridge is replaceable, with each cartridge performing about 750 cleanings, greatly reducing cleaning costs. Using the attached cap you can also the clean ferrule end face in plugs. The NEOCLEAN-EZ line features an especially compact body, designed for cleaning in the narrow spaces of optical connector ports with a one push action. Simply remove the front tip cap to clean optical plugs. Fixing the attachment to the rear end allows you to also clean deeply recessed optical ports. NEOCLEAN-EZv is developed exclusively for easy cleaning of 2 mm broadcasting and video optical connectors, while NEOCLEAN-EZ3 can clean 2.5 mm optical connector ports and plugs as well as 2 mm video connectors. NEOCLEAN-EZ1Plus can clean 1.25 mm optical connector ports, ODC plugs and ODC sockets. The NEOCLEAN-M series of pen type cleaners allows you to instantly clean MPO/MTP connectors. NEOCLEAN-M for 12-core systems and NEOCLEAN-M2 for 16-core systems respond to the need for end face cleaning. NTT-AT’s NEOCLEAN-R2 line of simple type fiber optical connector cleaners uses cleaning tape that does not produce dust and provides special cleaning strength while resisting foreign particles to mix into the tape. A simplified tape advance mechanism resulted in cost reductions for both manufacturing and assembly. The main body is also made from anti-static material.Also made with antistatic materials, the NEOCLEAN-S line of stick type fiber optical connector cleaners controls the generation of static electricity during the cleaning process. And just as with the reel type, the cloth in the cleaning part is made from special cleaning fiber. Featuring 1.25 mm or 2.5 mm ends, NEOCLEAN-S is a very useful tool for cleaning connector end faces inserted into adaptors and housings. Key Features: Compact Design- Easy to Use and Efficient No Alcohol or Solvents Pen, Simple and Stick Types Available Cost Effective Replaceable Cartridge (NEOCLEAN-E) Excellent Anti-static Properties Applications: Cleaning of Single Core and Multi Core Fiber Optical Connectors, Plugs & Adapters; Cleaning of Fiber Optical Connectors for Video Equipment

NOA 13685 Optical Adhesive 2g syringe
Refractive Index: 1.3685; 15-25 cps Viscosity at 25°C Norland Optical Adhesive 13685 is clear liquid adhesive that will cure when exposed long wavelength ultraviolet light. NOA 13685 is recommended for bonding for glass to glass. Adhesion is also good to cellulose acetate butyrate. NOA 13685 is cured by ultraviolet light between 315 and 395 nm. Full cure requires 6 Joules/cm2. The adhesive exhibits oxygen inhibition and must be cured under an inert atmosphere if used as a coating to assure surface is tack free.Typical Properties of NOA 13685 Color Clear Shore D Hardness 55 Temperature Range -15°C to 90°C Keep NOA 13685 in a cool (5-22°C) dark place.

Try NTT-AT’s series of adhesives for optical waveguides! Within this series you find acrylate-based adhesives (AT6001, AT8224)with excellent durability that have cleared a large number of reliability tests. Epoxy adhesives are also part of this series, with a refractive index that can be accurately controlled within a range of 1.456 to 1.567 (±0.005, Na-D) – or with a fixed refractive index that is the same as quartz to deliver low reflectance (GA700L, GA700H). UV curing of the adhesives for optical waveguides allows for adhesion in a short time frame and makes alignment easy. The adhesives withstand a solder reflow process for Si Photonics (+260 °C). In order to achieve high reliability, a product must clear the tests conducted by the users themselves. If you have had even just a bit of dissatisfaction in reliability test results in the past, please put NTT-AT’s adhesives for optical waveguides to the test. In case you need any consulting regarding issues related to adhesion, please contact the AMS Technologies optical adhesives experts to discuss the detailed challenges of your application.
