Liquid crystal polymer makes connectors stronger, tougher.(Polymers/Ceramics)
Advanced Materials & Processes, July, 2004
Superior resistance to damage during automated contact insertion and board assembly is said to be provided by electrical connectors molded from new Zenite 6130LX liquid crystal polymer from DuPont Engineering Polymers, Wilmington, Del. In addition, parts have lower warpage for better part alignment and improved soldering yields.
Its heat deflection temperature of 280[degrees]C (536[degrees]F) is 15[degrees]C (27[degrees]F) higher than that of the earlier generation of liquid crystal polymers. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] In destructive testing of a back plane header, the ...
