Temat: Victrex® PEEK™ Polymer Replaces Metal in USB Drive...

While metal connectors are commonly used by the electronics and computer industries for almost all USB-connected devices, InnoDisk President, Richard Lee, believes that "Substituting VICTREX PEEK polymer for metal gives us greater design flexibility and a shorter time to market, thus lowering the overall product cost. By integrating the metal connectors and the rubber cores of the USB drive into a one-piece design, we can greatly minimize the complexity of manufacturing and reduce the product weight."

As the highest-performing melt-processable polymer available in the market, VICTREX PEEK polymer provides electronic components with an exceptional combination of benefits including wear resistance, strength, dimensional stability, high temperature resistance and fatigue resistance. "These properties make VICTREX PEEK polymer an ideal substitute for metal in USB connectors," explained Lee. "Durability, reliability, temperature resistance, and stability are all critical to the quality of USB drives. With VICTREX PEEK polymer's great performance and superior physical and chemical properties, we expect to shorten our time to market for our USB drive cards and to provide customers with more durable and reliable storage media to meet their design needs."
