Material selection for electronic and electrical components

Electronics & Electrical

Connectors need a balance of latch retention and thin-wall filling; drive parts require wear and noise comparisons. Screen CNT or carbon-fiber formulations for static-control handling parts against resistance targets and the grounding path.

Electronics & ElectricalScenarios for selecting materials for electronic and electrical components

Electrical function, resistance targets and test methods

Connectors, trays, drive gears and antistatic precision parts perform different electrical and mechanical tasks. Material selection must account for insulating, dissipative or conductive functions, resistance ranges, test conditions, grounding paths, dimensions and motion requirements.

  • Electrical functionscomponent functions, as well as the target state of insulation, static dissipation, or conductivity
  • Resistance and testingSurface or volumetric resistance range, test voltage, regulation conditions, and grounding path
  • Size and assemblyTerminal holding, mechanical load, motion mode, key dimensions, and assembly clearance
  • Environment and processingTemperature and humidity, color, clean environment, processing conditions, and applicable regulations or testing requirements

Material requirements for electronics parts

Drive & motion

For continuous meshing, control tooth heat and wear; for starts or reversals, balance root loading with impact toughness.

    High-speed meshing and toner contact can increase tooth wear; backlash changes amplify noise. Compare wear and profile retention, then continuous-running temperature rise.

    Precision plastic gears

Wear-resistant & low-friction POM

For meshing or sliding wear and clearance growth, shortlist MoS₂-modified EMS102 and EMS162. Start with EMS102 for flow-sensitive molding and EMS162 when tensile strength leads selection.

For low-speed starts, dry sliding or stick-slip noise, start with PTFE-modified EPTL402. Compare starting force, running torque and wear separately for steel–plastic and plastic–plastic pairs.

Material options

Narrow the material range according to electrical functions and mechanical requirements

Choose the formulation for the dominant failure mode, then build a first comparison with the baseline grades below. Consult each TDS for properties and molding conditions.

Next step

Get candidate grades and trial priorities

Send a part drawing or function, the current failure and material, plus known operating conditions. Receive a candidate-grade comparison, TDS and molding-trial sample support, with the key checks for your part.
