SolderPlus Dispensing Paste from Nordson EFD Provides a More Reliable, Convenient Solution for RFID Bonding Applications

Applying a specialized solder paste formula can improve
production yields while saving time and reducing costs
Nordson EFD, a Nordson company (NASDAQ: NDSN), the
world’s leading precision fluid dispensing systems manufacturer,
offers a new SolderPlus® dispensing paste formula to improve bond
reliability in RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags, dual
interface (DI) smart cards, and biometric passports.
These applications require attaching an antenna electrically
connected to a chip. Manufacturers often use a silver filled epoxy
to bond these components. This method requires a curing process,
which can affect bond strength if not enough time is allotted for
complete curing. Other process considerations include low storage
temperature requirements of minus 32° F (0° C).
The process of applying Nordson EFD solder paste is faster and
easier because there is no curing time required. Also, solder paste
can be stored at a higher temperature, requiring less time to
thaw.
A bending test is often used to determine the lifetime of an
RFID card. It simulates what can happen when a card is bent in a
wallet to determine at what point electrical disconnection
happens.
“The test indicates a SolderPlus bond lasts for more than 20,000
cycles of use,” said Philippe Mysson, Business Development Manager
– Solder Paste, Nordson EFD. “That is equivalent to about 10 years
in a wallet. Silver filled epoxy bonds last roughly 1,000 cycles or
six months.”
In addition, the chemistry of solder paste makes it safer to use
when compared to the chemistry of silver filled epoxy, which
contains toxic materials. Solder paste is also much less expensive
because it contains no silver.
“We believe each of these factors make our specialized formula
of EFD SolderPlus dispense paste a more reliable, cost-effective
alternative to other methods used in RFID bonding applications,”
Mysson said. “The reliability of solder joints is 20 times better
than existing standard connections. When paired with faster
production time, this allows DI smart card and RFID tag
manufacturers to improve the quality and reliability of their
product while meeting increasing consumer demand.”
