flame retardance. It has been formulated to withstand the through-hole reflow soldering techniques (SMT THR) that are displacing conventional wave soldering of terminal blocks onto PCBs. According to DSM, it is the first high temperature polyamide certified by the VDE up to 0.4mm using glow wire tests carried out according to the household appliance standard DIN EN 60335-1. German surface mount device maker WECO Contact


turning to environmental performance, there is a developing interest not only in halogen-free polymers but also in reduced CO2 emissions. DSM claims that its Stanyl ForTii T11 meets the technical requirements of surface mount terminal block producers while delivering a CO2 benefit over alternatives such as LCPs or PPA. Stanyl ForTii T11 is a high temperature PA 4T grade offering good mechanical performance and UL94-VO


switched to Stanyl ForTii T11 for all terminal blocks and pin strips in its SmartConn range last year. In another novel electronics industry application, Canon subsidiary Océ is using a PC-based carbon fibre reinforced compound from the Lehvoss subsidiary of Lehmann & Voss to manufacture a printer cartridge holder used in its latest digital printing systems. The moulding replaces a 10-part metal assembly. According to Lehmann & Voss, the Luvocom 50-7856/


FR/BK grade was selected for its stiffness and comp- liance with UL 94-V0 flammability, as well as its electrical properties and dimensional stability. The company says the application called for a resin that provided sufficiently high flow to fill the thin wall sections in the complex cartridge holder while holding tolerances
