Traditionally, many connectors of this type are produced using liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) formulated with carbon fiber. 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. • Avoid over-engineering – The new connector must be designed to meet the targeted requirements accurately, without over engineering, thus avoiding the costs of higher-than-needed performance levels. • Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The selected resin must offer significant savings over the current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration of the low-cost computer market with a competitive connector. THE SOLUTION Because they knew Avient could help, the connector company’s design engineers invited Avient into the development process.

Avient technologies for lighting systems control heat, allow for maximum output, and withstand the harshest conditions that the most rugged job sites can dish out. Lighting systems that incorporate materials from Avient’s portfolio of long- and continuous-fiber composites are more likely to maintain the integrity of their design Carbonateds
