Abstract
Abstract A high density dimensionally stable encapsulated wire circuit board and a method of making such a board is described. A photo-curable adhesive having a unique combination of rheological properties is utilized to bond insulated wires to a substrate. The unique combination of rheological properties of the adhesive used in the encapsulated wire circuit boards of this invention include a specified range of values for the Storage Shear Modulus and specified range of values for the Loss Angle ratio.
