Polymer Processing

Polymer Processing

There are two processes used to convert polymer resin pellets to a connector housing, compression/transfer molding and injection molding. Before discussing those processes, however, another method of polymerizing the starting resin must be mentioned for completeness, condensation polymerization. Recall that addition polymerization occurs by the addition of individual mers to existing polymer chains under the Read the original post Polymer Processing on inter-connection components...

Polymer Materials

Polymer Materials

The majority of connector housings are manufactured from thermoplastic polymers due to their combination of electrical and mechanical properties and the manufacturing efficiencies of injection molding. This section will provide an overview of polymer materials and properties and a brief introduction to injection molding. The word “polymer” describes the structure of polymers in that its Read the original post Polymer Materials on inter-connection components...

ZIF Contacts Selection Guide; WE Webinar

This Würth Elektronik webinar provides expert knowledge on ZIF contacts selection guide and design of the interface at RIGID.flex. Flex and RIGID.flex PCBs are often designed with a ZIF interface (ZIF = Zero Insertion Force) and have a so-called ZIF contact for connecting a module via a detachable plug connection. There are different possibilities in Read the original post ZIF Contacts Selection Guide; WE...

Thermistor-Based Temperature Sensing System Optimization and Evaluation

This Analogue Devices article written by Jellenie Rodriguez and Mary McCarthy discusses thermistor-based temperature sensing system optimization and evaluation. Introduction As discussed in article Thermistor-Based Temperature Sensing System Explained, there are different challenges involved in designing and optimizing thermistor-based application solutions. These are sensor selection and circuit configuration, which were discussed in the previous article. Additional challenges are Read the original post Thermistor-Based Temperature Sensing System Optimization...
