Case study Amphenol with LCP E130i Thermoplastics Precision Molded V-0 Material
Introduction: Amphenol is a leading manufacturer of high-quality electronic connectors and interconnects systems. When Amphenol approached us to produce molded parts for their products using LCP E130i Thermoplastics Precision Molded V-0 material, we knew we had a challenging task ahead of us. This material is known for its high strength and excellent flame retardant properties, but it also has specific requirements for molding that must be met to ensure the highest quality results.
About LCP E130i Thermoplastics Precision Molded Challenges:
Tight tolerances: The material has a maximum allowable shrinkage of 0.03mm and a straightness of 0.04mm, which requires precise molding and careful monitoring to avoid defects.
Surface finish: The material requires an A-level surface finish with no ejector marks, glue feed points, or parting lines above the red line on both sides.
Warpage: The material has a maximum allowable warpage of 0.06mm after furnace, which requires careful control of cooling and heating rates.
Environmental standards: The material must meet Amphenol’s SSN#002 environmental protection standard and SSN#004SHARED if it is a halogen-free product.
Solutions:
Mold modification: To address rough edges and mismatched features, we checked the mold drawing and made modifications to ensure proper part geometry.
Insert Engineering Plastics injection molding: To avoid trachoma and cracks, we recommended using insert molding to reinforce critical areas of the parts.
Results:
By carefully controlling the molding process and meeting the specific requirements of LCP E130i Thermoplastics Precision Molded V-0 material, we were able to produce high-quality molded parts for Amphenol that met their tight tolerances, surface finish, and environmental standards. Our use of insert molding also helped to reinforce critical areas of the parts and prevent defects. Overall, we were proud to deliver high-quality molded parts that met the needs of our valued customers.
