Electronic Connectors - Case Study ECCOH™ LSFOH Wire and Cable - Product Selection Guide (English) OnColor™ and OnCap™ Wire and Cable Solutions (Chinese)

Because FIBER-LINE® already processes so many different types and deniers of both Kevlar® & Nomex®, FIBER-LINE® have been authorized by DuPontTM to distribute small quantities of these fibers to an ever- growing customer base. Through this program, we hope to introduce businesses of all sizes to the benefit of aramid fibers. Our products enable the search for new energy reserves and extend the life of fiber optic telecommunication cables.

At Avient, we have solutions that will do just that. From performance additives that focus on extending product life to special effect colorants that create stunning results, we have technologies that can help you address your challenges. Values reported as “typical” or stated without a range do not state minimum or maximum properties; consult your sales representative for property ranges and min/max specifications.

THE CHALLENGE A manufacturer of high-speed, electronic connectors for the telecommunications industry had a customer that needed a connector for a new, low-cost computer it was developing. The connector company’s product development engineers established three key criteria for the polymer needed to meet the cost and performance needs of the new connector: • Meet targeted technical requirements – The new connector must provide signal dampening within the range specified. 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.

Where do you even start? Both the size and weight of products and packaging can play a critical role in lessening environmental impact and can often be positively influenced by design.  Devices that last longer have more chances for upcycling and reuse – diverting materials from the waste stream.
