Would you rather buy components or assemblies? We can do both.
Electrically insulating materials are chosen to block the flow of electricity. Correctly chosen materials can increase the efficiency or extend the life of your unit, reduce failures and repairs, and provide an added safety margin against unforeseen electrical stress situations in your electrical equipment.
When choosing an electrically insulating material, consider the following:
| UL 94 FR Rating | High Temperature Range | Dielectric Strength | |
| Fibre/Paper | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Unbleached Kraft (VHR 115) | UL 94 HB | 230° F | 250 V/Mil |
| Aramid Fibre (Nomex 410) | UL 94 V-0 | 430° F (continuous) | 430 V/Mil |
| Vulcanized Fibre (Fishpaper) | UL 94 HB | 239° F | 400 V/Mil |
| Industrial Laminates | |||
| Epoxy Glass (FR4) | UL 94 V-0 | (approx.) 265° F | 840 V/Mil |
| Plastics | |||
| Polypropylene (Formex) | UL 94 V-0 | 203-240° F | 1800-2200 V/Mil |
| Polyimide (Kapton Film) | UL 94 V-0 | 390-428° F (continuous) | 6,000 V/Mil |
| Polycarbonate (Lexan) | UL 94 V-0 | 185° F (continuous) | 17,000 V/Mil |
| Teflon (FEP) | UL 94 V-0 | 400° F (continuous) | 6,500 V/Mil |
