New Liquid Crystal Polymer LCP Enables High-speed Data Transmission Of Electronic Devices In Products Such As Automobiles

According to foreign media reports, as people's interest in products such as Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous vehicles, 5G cellular networks, smart cities and video streaming services continues to increase, more and more people can use such products, it is also Transferring more data to smaller wired and wireless devices at higher speeds becomes more important and challenging.

Miniaturization of devices (connector miniaturization and ultra-small size while requiring higher mechanical properties on thinner wall materials), combined with higher density interconnects, reduces printed circuit board (PCB) space and Increased complexity. At the same time, the market needs to increase the transmission speed from 3 Gtb, 6 to 80 or even 100 Gtb per second. By placing so many high speeds at such close distances, high frequency interconnects increase transmission load and increase crosstalk, increasing the need for connector materials with lower dielectric constants and loss factors, and understanding crosstalk between self-driving cars Whether it will lead to a fatal accident. The hacker report on the site also tells us that the integrity of the data must be protected without affecting the speed of the signal transmission. In addition, faster processing speeds and higher density lines on thinner connectors can cause thermal management issues. In order to prevent data transmission bottlenecks, manufacturers also need to continuously upgrade the performance of the connector to ensure more reliable and clear data transmission.

The new high performance liquid crystal polymer (LCP) is a polymer that produces thermoplastic parts with unique processing characteristics and high performance for high heat resistance and good flow. It can reduce weight or reduce wall materials and can often replace metals, ceramics and other plastics. Most commercial LCP are aromatic polyesters with high heat and high mechanical properties, inherent flame retardancy, good weatherability, excellent electrical properties, strong resistance to stress cracking and chemical inertness, making them electronic and electronic. Ideal. Components (including fiber optics, PCBs, chip carriers, connectors (conventional, RF and fiber optics) and other surface mount components), micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS), automotive applications (including ignition and transmission systems, lamp holders, pump assemblies, coils) Tubes and sensors), printer/copier/fax components, cookware and chemical processing components (including pumps, gauges and valves).
