Electrical connectors

Electrical connectors

Electrical current produces heat, and the connectors, wires and other infrastructure used to direct the flow of electricity must withstand persistent exposure to elevated temperatures. Furthermore, given the potential hazards should electrical systems fail, how a material behaves during a failure is vitally important. And as electrical components find their way into more everyday applications, miniaturization, thin walls and reliable molding and processability become increasingly important.
