SUMIKASUPER LCP high flow, low warpage grade

In recent years, the method of mounting electronic components on boards has generally been the surface mount technology (SMT), in which soldering is performed under high-temperature conditions of 250 to 270°C. LCP, which has excellent heat resistance, dimensional stability, and precision moldability, is widely used for SMT-compatible connectors. SUMIKASUPER LCP grades compatible with SMT not only have the heat resistance required for SMT, but also have excellent thin-wall fluidity and thin-wall strength even with a wall thickness of 0.2 mm or less. The table below shows the positioning of thin-wall fluidity and thin-wall strength for high-flow, low-warpage grades of SUMIKASUPER LCP. When selecting a grade, please refer to Table 1-2-2, Figure 1-2-2, and the SUMIKASUPER LCP Selection Guide for LCP Applications, and consult with our staff.

Grade notation

As outlined in the table below, SUMIKASUPER LCP grades are labeled in a way that makes their composition immediately clear, although there are some exceptions to this, such as the ultra-high toughness grades and the high flow grades.
