and Switches
Connectors are used in many applications that must meet flame retardancy
requirements, such as telecom, datacom, automotive and military
applications. Great Lakes offers a wide variety of flame retardant
additives for all of these and more.

Market
Trends
- Automotive electronics increasingly sophisticated;
high voltage (42 V) automotive system to be incorporated; more
stringent flammability requirements on the polymeric materials
used for the connectors and other components
- Miniaturization and thin wall design of components;
more stringent requirement on the mechanical strength; temperature
resistance and flowability of polymeric materials
- Total system cost reduction drives easy to assemble
design like snap fit feature; surface mount assembly; putting
more pressure on stiffness and temperature resistance of polymeric
materials
- Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) pushing
for lead- free, non-halogen polymeric materials and balancing
the cost performance
