Red adhesive, commonly used for surface-mount component temporary fixation before wave soldering, requires precise curing control to achieve the necessary tack strength for component holding without compromising solder joint formation or later reworkability.

Adhesive dispensing for component reinforcement is a common secondary process in PCBA assembly, used to secure large, heavy, or tall components against mechanical shock, vibration, or thermal stress that could break solder joints over time.

Thermal interface material (TIM) application is a critical step for managing heat dissipation in high-power PCBA designs, where components like processors, power converters, or RF modules generate significant heat that must be transferred to a heatsink or chassis.

Shielding coatings are applied to PCBA surfaces to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), preventing noise from disrupting sensitive circuits or causing emissions that exceed regulatory limits.
