For example, when load or tension is placed on a composite longitudinally (in the direction of the fiber), the fiberglass reinforcement is resistant to the loading. In contrast, when the loading is perpendicular (or transverse) to the fiber, the matrix of the composite is resisting the load. The flexural modulus indicates a material’s resistance to bending.

It must also have the required heat resistance, be strong enough to maintain a tight electrical connection and be flexible enough to allow a snap fit.    A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of signal dampening prescribed
