High Flow and Low Warpage Grade of SUMIKASUPER LCP

Surface mounting technology (SMT) where electronic components are mounted on boards at high temperatures of 250 to 270°C has become common in recent years. Therefore, LCP is widely used for SMT-compatible connectors due to its excellent heat resistance, dimensional stability, and precision molding. In addition to having heat resistance compatible with SMT, the grade of SUMIKASUPER LCP that is compatible with SMT has excellent thin-wall flowability and thin-wall strength even at wall thicknesses of 0.2mm or less. The following table shows the positioning of thin-wall flowability and thin-wall strength with SUMIKASUPER LCP high flow and low warpage grades. When selecting a grade, refer to Table 1-2-3, Figure 1-2-2, and the SUMIKASUPER LCP selection guides in Chapter 6 Applications of LCP, or contact us directly.

Grade Notation Method

As shown in the table below, SUMIKASUPER LCP grades use a notation method that makes it easy to quickly recognize the composition.
However, there are some exceptions to this notation such as with ultra-high toughness grades and high flowability grades.
