New Henkel Loctite Underfill Material Available Now from Ellsworth Adhesives Europe
February 19, 2019 | Ellsworth AdhesivesEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
The newly launched Henkel Loctite ECCOBOND UF 1173 is now available to order from Ellsworth Adhesives Europe, adding to the supplier’s impressive range of specialty chemicals.
This one component, epoxy underfill has been created for the next-generation of high reliability electronics applications. It is designed to provide a uniform and void-free encapsulating underfill, which maximises a device’s temperature cycling capability and dissipates stress away from solder joints and connections.
Loctite ECCOBOND UF 1173 is fast curing and provides essential interconnect protection from shock, drop and vibration. It can be jet or needle dispensed and is fast flowing in and around tight spaces. Furthermore, the innovative encapsulant has a low coefficient of thermal expansion and exhibits high glass transition (Tg) temperature capability of 155°C. Once applied, it boosts mechanical strength and provides robust environmental protection.
Henkel’s new underfill system offers high performance in electronic applications for the aerospace and automotive sectors. The increasing use of fine-pitch array devices such as chip scale packages (CSP) and ball grid arrays (BGA) in these areas mean that interconnect protection is essential for long-term durability and performance. ECCOBOND UF 1173 can withstand the high operating temperatures which exist within smaller, higher-functioning devices whilst maintaining a high level of performance and processing.
Manufactured with health and safety as a key focus, ECCOBOND UF 1173 does not contain any reportable REACH SVCHCs (as of June 2018), and is not CMR classified.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
