It is under harsh conditions that true value is demonstrated. A lineup of PPS spacers made from engineering plastics.
■PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) Spacer
This spacer is made from PPS material, which has particularly excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, and flame retardancy among super engineering plastics. It possesses self-extinguishing properties without the addition of flame retardants and maintains stable dimensional accuracy even in harsh thermal environments.
■Main Features
- Extremely high environmental resistance: Excellent heat resistance, weather resistance, and hydrolysis resistance, with minimal degradation even after long-term use.
- Outstanding physical properties: High mechanical strength and flame retardancy (compliant with UL standards).
- Dimensional stability: Very low water absorption rate, resulting in minimal distortion even in environments with significant temperature fluctuations.
■Case Studies for Problem Solving
Cost reduction and performance improvement achieved with PPS spacers
As an alternative to metal parts and conventional resins, the following problem-solving achievements have been realized:
- Weight reduction and insulation from metal: By replacing metal spacers with PPS, weight reduction is achieved while ensuring circuit insulation.
- Overcoming the performance limits of PA (Polyamide) resin: PPS maintains high precision even in environments where dimensional changes due to moisture absorption and thermal degradation are concerns.
- High density around connectors: With excellent dimensional stability and heat resistance, it contributes to space-saving for connectors and electronic components located near heat sources.
