With the development of technology, many objects are now becoming lighter, smaller, and smarter, because they are easy to carry and easy to use, and the connector industry is no exception. Under the current trend of smaller and smaller connectors, it also poses a huge challenge to the material of the connector. Under this trend, high-temperature nylon and LCP emerged as the times require, and they shine in the field of SMT high precision connector injection.

1. What are the requirements for materials for SMT high precision connector injection?

SMT connector, that is, patch connector. With the development of the times, connectors have become the few remaining punched parts on most PC boards. Manufacturers have also found that by reducing or eliminating the use of hybrid soldering techniques (that is, using both surface mount and through-hole components on the same circuit board), and using all SMT processes can improve production efficiency and reduce costs for manufacturers.

So what are the requirements for materials for SMT high precision connector injection? Mainly focus on the following points:

1). Mechanical properties

The high precision connector injection needs to fix the terminal, so the material must have a certain strength and rigidity; in the later stage, tests such as swing test and impact test will be carried out to check the product quality, so it must have a certain degree of toughness.

2).Thermal performance

The material must be resistant to high temperatures. The later stage of SMT connector requires lead-free soldering process, the temperature is about 260 degrees, about 15s, so the material must have high temperature resistance, that is, the short-term heat resistance index HDT must meet the conditions. However, the resistance to long-term use temperature (RTI index) does not need to be too high, depending on the function of the connector.

3).Electrical performance

All connector plastic parts must be insulated;

High-frequency products may require certain requirements for dielectric constant and loss factor;

Some shell and bracket products also need to have anti-static requirements.

4).Flame retardant and environmental protection

The flame retardancy of most products basically conforms to UL94V0. Under the trend of environmental protection, most of them pursue halogen-free, but currently half of them are halogen-free and half of them are halogen.

5).Physical and chemical properties

Due to the need to contact solder paste, salt spray testing, and some customer requirements, the material needs to have a certain chemical resistance; in addition, UV resistance, low water absorption, and dimensional stability are required.

6). Appearance and dyeing

The current connectors need to have various color requirements no matter on the motherboard or other parts, so the material must have good dyeing performance, and also have good color stability under high temperature conditions, and it is not easy to fade.

7).Processability

Processing performance is very important, because the connector industry has low profits and high volume, so the number of mold cavities is relatively large, so a wide material processing window, low mold scale, and low corrosion are required to reduce the loss of downtime. Some products require high flatness and low warpage.
