INDUSTRIES WE SERVE

Plastics for the Electrical Industry

Every electrical assembly depends on the parts that don't conduct. From arc shields and breaker housings to test fixtures and insulators, engineered plastics provide the dielectric strength, flame resistance and machinability the electrical industry runs on. We stock the insulating grades and machine them to print.

Common Electrical Applications

  • Wire and cable insulation
  • Plenum-rated wire and cable jacketing
  • Arc shields
  • Test boards
  • Circuit boards, rinted-wiring boards
  • Connectors — data, automotive, telecommunications, fiber optic
  • High-voltage circuit-breaker housings
  • Aircraft electrical insulators
  • Radar gun lenses
  • Electronic test sockets and fixtures
  • Conduits

Why Plastics Win

  • Strong, high impact resistant
  • Thermoformable
  • Nonconductive; resistant to electricity
  • Can be made static dissipative or fully conductive
  • Inherently good insulator
  • Chemical, UV, abrasion resistant
  • Temperature resistant
  • Hydrolytic stability
  • Low flammability and smoke generation
  • High creep resistant
