Semitron® ESD 520HR PAI - MCAM

Semitron® ESD 520HR is an electrostatic dissipative PAI material that possesses the unique ability to resist dielectric breakdown at high voltages. As a result, Semitron® ESD 520HR is the only Semitron® grade that maintains its performance throughout the 100V to 1000V voltage range while also offering the mechanical performance needed to excel in demanding applications. This characteristic, combined with its high strength and heat resistance, make Semitron® ESD 520HR an ideal solution for test equipment and device handling applications within the semiconductor and electronics industry.

Semitron® ESd products are inherently dissipative. They do not rely on atmospheric phenomena (humidity) to activate, nor are surface treatments used to achieve dissipation. Static electricity is dissipated through these products as readily as it is dissipated along the surface.

Limitations

Semitron® ESd 520HR PAI materials have a relatively high moisture absorption rate, parts used in high temperature service or made to tight tolerances should be kept dry prior to installation.

Thermal shock resulting in deformation can occur if moisture laden parts are rapidly exposed to temperatures above 400°F (205° C).

Chemical Resistance to Strong Bases, Steam and Some High Temperature Acids

Applications

Back End Test Contactors

Back End Test Equipment Nests

Back End Test Equipment Sockets

Device Handling Components
