Take everything you like about PBT or PET polyesters; then add more resistance to peak temperatures and hydrolysis. The result: DuPont™ Thermx® PCT, the latest in a range of high performance polymers now added to the DuPont portfolio. Attributes and features include:

  • High-temperature assembly: Withstands SMT reflow soldering
  • High-temperature service: Retains useful strength, toughness with age
  • Chemical resistance: auto fluids, circuit board cleaning agents and more
  • Excellent colorability
  • Hydrolysis resistance: Performs well in USCAR Class 4 tests
  • Dimensional stability: Negligible moisture effect
  • Arc tracking resistance: A valuable asset for 42-volt auto electrical applications

Applications include a wide range of injection molded components for electrical, electronics, automotive, appliance, and other industrial and consumer products. Typical parts include circuit board connectors, automotive connectors (headers), lamp sockets and relays.
