Electrical engineering company Weidmüller uses Ultramid Advanced N3U41 G6 from BASF for the PCB connectors and terminals of its new OMNIMATE 4.0 product family.

BASF’s Ultramid Advanced N3U41 G6 is used in Weidmüller’s PCB connectors and terminals.

Ultramid Advanced: Flexible colorability

The BASF polyphthalamide (PPA) is characterized by its flexible colorability in RAL colors such as color stable orange, blue, and green, thus contributing to safe assembly and maintenance of E&E components.

Ultramid Advanced N3U41 G6 enables the production of connectors and PCB terminals in customized colors; the relevant UL Yellow Cards apply to all colors (all color listing). This allows customers to respond flexibly to the respective color coding required in the E&E industry for the assembly and maintenance of electronic components.

Ultramid Advanced: High performance and easy to process

Thanks to its outstanding chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and very good processability, Ultramid Advanced N improves the robustness and durability of OMNIMATE 4.0 components.

Due to its high temperature resistance, the BASF PPA is suitable for reflow soldering, a process used to fasten E&E components to printed circuit boards.

The laser-sensitive Ultramid Advanced N3U41 G6 LS with non-halogenated flame retardant combines high heat resistance with low water absorption and outstanding electrical properties.

It shows a high comparative tracking index (CTI) of 600 (according to IEC 60112). Thanks to the reduced creepage distance, it is well suited for the miniaturization of electrical components. The UL-certified PPA features a high relative thermal index (RTI) of 150 °C.

Ultramid Advanced N3U41 G6 is also very easy to process. It offers flowability comparable to liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and is supplied in a small granule size, which facilitates processing on smaller injection molding machines.

Weidmüller’s OMNIMATE 4.0

Weidmüller’s PCB components transmit power in a compact design and meet high voltage requirements. Thanks to the snap-in connection technology, they enable fast, tool-free wiring, accelerating assembly. Its OMNIMATE 4.0 product family is ideally suited for fully automated wiring processes.
