New Ultradur® product combines high toughness and high fluidity
BASF polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) meets increasing mechanical performance requirements
In order to meet the continuing miniaturization trend of automotive electronic components, BASF has further expanded its engineering plastics product portfolio: connectors made with the new material Ultradur® B4340ZG2 High Speed (HSP) are more robust and can effectively resist damage such as breakage and cracking.
Applications such as wiring harnesses place great demands on rugged, non-breakable plug-in connectors, as replacing individual broken end parts is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also expensive. For this type of application, Ultradur B4340ZG2 HSP, a new PBT material designed for plug-in thin-walled connectors, optimizes product performance, combining high fluidity and excellent impact strength.
In addition, the electrical performance of Ultradur B4340ZG2 HSP is also very good: the voltage of the material CTI (relative tracking index, tracking resistance, IEC 60112) is as high as 600 volts, which guarantees a shorter climb between the two contacts of the plug-in connector Miniaturized design of electrical distance.
The Ultradur B4340ZG2 HSP is currently in volume production and customers can order samples.
