Aerospace Duratron T5030 PAI Printed Circuit Board Challenge Insulate metallic fasteners from Printed Circuit Boards In control systems printed circuit boards PCB are stacked together. The metallic fasteners used within the stacks have to be insulated and also be prevented from causing damage to the PCBs. These systems are expected to have a long service life. Therefore the stack system must be able to resist creep and fatigue but also remain secure. Ceramic spacers are an option but can be brittle when subjected to vibration or fatigue. Key Requirements High compressive strength Creep resistance at elevated temperatures Dimensional stability from -40 to 130 C -40 to 266 F Excellent fatigue resistance Insulating Spacers Customer Benefits Extended maintenance periods Reduced initial cost compared to ceramics A component that is non cracking Fire retardant capabilities as per FAR 25.853 Low coefficient of linear thermal expansion High ozone resistance Good electrical insulation mcam.com MCAMconnect contactmcam.com Why Duratron T5030 This advanced 30 glass-reinforced PAI material polyamide-imide offers higher stiffness and creep resistance at elevated temperatures than other high temperature polymers such as PEEK or PEI. It is well suited for structural applications supporting static loads or fasteners for long periods of time and over a wide range of temperatures. It offers excellent electrical insulating properties as well as resistance to vibrations and fatigue. It is an extremely popular material traditionally used within the electronic electrical and semiconductor industries as well as aircraft and aerospace industries Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials Added Value Our global experience and quality in manufacturing engineering polymer shapes combined with our highly developed machining capabilities Comprehensive AS9100D compliant portfolio of stock shapes Dedicated technical support Global availability of products and services through a st
