Technical Data Sheet AMICON® C 850-6 Internet Address: www.emersoncuming.com Key Feature: • One component • Silver filled • Low viscosity Silver Filled, Epoxy Die Attach Adhesive Benefit: • Ease of use • Yields excellent electrical and thermal conductivities Reduces tailing and stringing in production equipment Product Description: AMICON C 850-6 is a fast curing, one component, low viscosity, silver filled epoxy die attach adhesive. It features high electrical and thermal conductivity and high strength at wire bond temperatures. AMICON C 850-6 also features a low viscosity to avoid tailing, stringing and dry out problems in high speed die attach equipment. Applications: AMICON C 850-6 is designed for bonding most plastic packaged ICs and other die attach applications. Instructions For Use: Thoroughly read the information concerning health and safety contained in this bulletin before using. Observe all precautionary statements that appear on the product label and/or contained in individual Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). To ensure the long term performance of the bonded assembly, complete cleaning of the substrates should be performed to remove contamination such as oxide layers, dust, moisture, salt, and oils which can cause poor adhesion or corrosion in a bonded part. For information on proper substrate preparation, refer to the reprint “Good Adhesive Bonding Starts With Surface Preparation” available from Emerson & Cuming. Some filler settling is common during shipping and storage. For this reason, it is recommended that the contents of the shipping container be thoroughly mixed prior to use. Power mixing is preferred to ensure a homogeneous product. Apply the adhesive to all surfaces to be bonded and join together. In most applications only contact pressure is required.

For best results, store in original, tightly covered containers. Storage in cool, clean and dry areas is recommended. Usable shelf life may vary depending on method of application and storage temperature. Health and Safety: The AMICON C 850-6, like most epoxy compounds, possesses the ability to cause skin and eye irritation upon contact. Certain individuals may also develop an allergic reaction after exposure (skin contact, inhalation of vapors, etc.) which may manifest itself in a number of ways including skin rashes and an itching sensation. Handling this product at elevated temperatures may also generate vapors irritating to the respiratory system. Good industrial hygiene and safety practices should be followed when handling this product. Proper eye protection and appropriate chemical resistant clothing should be worn to minimize direct contact. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for detailed recommendations on the use of engineering controls and personal protective equipment.
