Assist Carrier is the FPC/PCB carrier for device mounting process, consist of long proven heat-resistance sticky silicone rubber layer and newly developed non-silicone rubber layer along with the metal board. Both silicon and non-silicone rubber have great characteristics which compatible with Pb-free solder. Non-silicone product achieve completely free of silicone.

Cross Section:

Usage:

Set a FPC onto the Jig
Set an Assist carrier onto the FPC	remove the Jig	Finish Assembly, device mount process for the next

Siloxane:

Base material used for Assist Carrier has reduced Siloxane content at re-flow condition. The newly developed non-silicone is completely free of Siloxane. (PPM) FB-A FB-B NS-350 NS-250 NS-250B  D4-D10 0 0 0 0 0  D10-D20 144 764 0 0 0

Adhesion strength after re-flowing:

A carrier with typical silicone material has characteristics of increased adhesion strength after the reflow process that result in device fall off from FPC and bowing of FPC. Shin-Etsu Assist Carrier has change of adhesion strength controlled within 2 times of before and after re-flow process to minimize the aforementioned adverse effects.
