High performance polyamides for improved reliability and safety in next-generation

摘要

HIGH-performance polyamides, Stanyl and Stanyl For Tii, made by Royal DSM, have been approved by global producers for use in the next generation of USB Type-C connectors. DSM's materials answer the need for improved levels of safety and reliability. The introduction of the USB Type-C connector is the result of the need to reduce electronic waste. Legislation in Europe, for example, is enforcing the use of a standardized charging interface, so that one charger and its associated cable can be used for multiple devices. As a result, the USB Type-C connector will be obligatory from 2017. Some electronics OEMs, including Apple and Google, have already launched equipment that incorporates Type-C ports.
