High-performance cars have increasingly become an important part of social development. With the development of performance, the quality of its electronic connectors also needs to be improved. A major factor affecting the performance and quality of automotive electronic connector products depends on the material composition used in production. Because the materials used in the production of automotive electronic connectors are very special. It must be able to withstand the high temperature of welding during the product assembly process. In the actual use process, it can continue to withstand the test of high temperature environment.
This is because the moisture in the parts tends to quickly transform into steam at extreme high temperatures, causing the plastic components of the product to foam. Foaming will affect the assembly of the product and damage the mechanical properties of the components. In order to avoid such problems, the automotive industry's requirements for connectors are moving closer to JEDEC MSL 1 level (level 1 humidity sensitive level).
Although some existing thermoplastics may also meet the requirements of JEDEC MSL 1, but due to the brittleness of the material, weak welding line or low heat resistance peak, the design of the product often needs to compromise in terms of performance. For example, with regard to heat resistance at high temperatures, the following characteristics must be resolved:
1. The actual operating temperature of some automotive electronic applications may be as high as 200.
2. If the iodide stabilizer is not used, the thermal stability of the material will be significantly reduced.
3. Traditional materials usually suitable for these working conditions will use iodide salts as thermal stabilizers, but these additives may cause corrosion of metal contacts.
