With the current development trend of electronic products, terminal products are developing with small size and precision. Moreover, with the advancement of science and technology, various 3C products are updated, and the products of the energy storage connector industry must also keep up with the continuous updating of 3C products. This article mainly explains the following 7 development trends of energy storage connector plastics:
1. High flow of energy storage connector plastic
Today's development trend of high-temperature connectors is: standard, high flow and low warpage, ultra-high flow and low warpage. At present, large foreign connector manufacturers are conducting research on ultra-high flow and low warpage materials, although our domestic technology can also meet the requirements of some ordinary materials. However, as the volume of connector products and the distance between terminals become smaller, the connector materials need to have high flow.
2. Low dielectric properties of energy storage connector plastic
Those who have a little knowledge of electronic products know that the transmission speed in electronic equipment is very important (the transmission speed is getting faster and faster), and in order to increase the transmission speed, there are more and more high-frequency products (the frequency is getting higher and higher), and there are also requirements for the dielectric constant of the material. At present, only LCP can meet the requirement of dielectric constant <3 for high-temperature connector materials, and SPS can be used as an alternative, but there are still many disadvantages.
3. Color requirements for energy storage connector plastic
Because the LCP of energy storage connector material has a dull appearance, is prone to flow marks, and has poor dyeing performance. Therefore, the development trend of LCP tends to have a glossy appearance, easy color matching, and no color change during high temperature processes, which can meet customers' needs for product color.
4. Waterproofing of energy storage connector plastic
Today's 3C products such as mobile phones have higher and higher requirements for waterproofing. For example, the waterproofing of the recently released iPhone X is also one of its highlights, so the popularity of waterproofing in future electronic products will definitely increase. At present, the main method of using dispensing and silicone is to achieve the purpose of waterproofing.
5. Long-term temperature resistance of energy storage connector plastic
Energy storage connector plastic is wear-resistant at high temperature (long-term use temperature 150~180℃), creep-resistant (125℃/72hrs under load), and meets ESD requirements (E6~E9).
6. Biological environmental protection of energy storage connector plastic
Due to social environmental issues, today's government advocates that the manufacturing industry can use environmentally friendly materials for production, so many customers have this requirement for whether connector products use environmentally friendly bioplastics for production and processing. For example: bio-based materials (corn, castor oil, etc.) or recycled materials, because products produced by using biological or environmentally friendly materials can be accepted by the government and more people.
7. Transparency of energy storage connector plastic
Some customers want transparent electronic products, for example, they want to add an LED underneath to make it an indicator light or to make it look better. At this time, high temperature resistant and transparent plastic is needed.
As an energy storage connector supplier, it faces huge challenges in both technology research and development and the supply of raw materials for energy storage connector products. Today's 3C products have higher and higher requirements for the fluidity of raw materials, but they cannot reduce other toughness, temperature resistance and some other characteristics. Therefore, energy storage connector suppliers have put forward higher requirements for the raw materials produced in order to keep up with the development trend of today's electronic products.
