Improved LCP boosts connector performance.A new liquid-crystal polymer from DuPont Engineering Polymers, Wilmington, Del., reportedly improves the strength and precision of electronic connectors. In destructive tests, new Zenite 6130LX is said to improve breakage resistance by 21% and deflection prior to fracture by 32% as compared with previous Zenite LCPs that it would replace. The result is superior resistance to damage during insertion into sockets and circuit boards. DuPont also claims improved knit-line strength that virtually eliminates micro-cracking problems. In addition, out-of-plane warpage is notably reduced. Temperature resistance of the grade is 536 F, or somewhat higher than for a conventional LCP (Link Control Protocol) See PPP. LCP - Link Control Protocol and an aid to resisting high soldering temperatures. Compared with earlier-generation LCPs, tensile strength tensile strength Ratio of the maximum load a material can support without fracture when being stretched to the original area of a cross section of the material. When stresses less than the tensile strength are removed, a material completely or partially returns to its is raised by 12% and elongation elongation, in astronomy, the angular distance between two points in the sky as measured from a third point. The elongation of a planet is usually measured as the angular distance from the sun to the planet as measured from the earth. at break by 16%. Flexural strength Flexural strength is also known as modulus of rupture, bend strength, or fracture strength. Flexural strength is measured in terms of stress, and thus is expressed in pascals (Pa) in the SI system. is increased by more than one-third. Tel: (800) 441-0575 * PT Direct: 412SX |
