Small Components – Big Impact

Designing today’s automotive electrical components is all about improving quality, lowering costs and lengthening component life.  DuPont offers a wide range of materials and deep expertise to help designers achieve these goals.

Crastin® PBT and Rynite® PET thermoplastic polyester resins and Zytel® nylon resin are global industry standard resins for use in electrical components such as coils, relays, connectors and solenoids. These products have a proven track record due to their ability to withstand automotive fluids, temperature extremes and impact. DuPont also offers Zytel® HTN and Zenite® liquid crystal polymers for extremely high temperature applications.

For unmatched electrical insulating capabilities in harsh conditions, DuPont also provides Teflon® and Tefzel® fluoropolymers.

Beyond Materials DuPont application specialists help customers optimize molding, tooling and manufacturing techniques. We are world leaders in thermoplastic encapsulation, used in many electrical components for productivity, component integration, and better physical properties in thin sections.
