HIGH-PRECISION, HIGH-RELIABILITY RENAULT 36-WAY HARNESS CONNECTOR BENEFITS FROM DSM ARNITE® TV4 261 PBT
A high-precision 36-way sectioning connector set for Renault automobile front/rear harnesses benefits from the exceptional dimensional stability, high electrical insulating property and mouldability of Arnite® polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) TV4 261 (30%GF) resin from DSM Engineering Plastics. Designed and manufactured for Renault by FCI (www.fciconnect.com), the two-connector set incorporates many intricate geometric features for precise positioning and locking. Arnite® TV4 261 resin’s balance of flow and mechanical properties helped enable the design of these complex parts using automated manufacturing equipment. The connector set is a standard component that fits many Renault vehicles manufactured after 2006.
DSM Engineering Plastics has received the 2008 Frost & Sullivan Excellence in Technology Award - in recognition of the development of Stanyl® Super Flow.
