"Glue" fan wires to PCB

Kenjutsu · Post by **Kenjutsu** » 16 Jan 2008, 09:00

I need help from the pro's. I want to "glue" the wires of my Antec TriCool fan onto the PCB. From my previous experience, these wires can easily break off from the PCB, and are a pain to re-solder.

I would like to glue them safely onto the PCB, hopefully preventing them from breaking off so easily. What type of glue/resin can you recommend?

TIA

Have you tried clear silicon glue?

Hot glue sticks and a glue gun works best. Also easy to remove again.

What pcb do you wanna glue it to actually?

Onto the fan PCB itself, where they are soldered to the board.

I've done it to a few fans with just being careful + a glue gun

Glue gun or get some Bostic general purpose glue
