TERALINK™ Thermoplastic Molded Components
What is TERALINK™?
TERALINK™ are thermoplastic molded components cross-linked by irradiating electron-beam.
Advantages
-
High structural stability at temperatures above melting point
-
Higher strength at temperatures above Tg
-
Improved resistance to wear and fatigue
Products
Optical components (TERALINK™ T)
- Lens for infrared SMD-type LEDs
- Lens package for optical connectors
-
High structural stability retained under reflow (260℃) process
suitable for SMT process
-
Transmittance* is over 90% in the range of 600nm~1100nm, and ~90% at 1300nm
*measured at RT with 2mmt plate
-
Injection molding applicable
cost effective compared to silicone or epoxy<br> high flexibility in designing of lens or/and supporting package
-
Hybrid structures of lens & holder realized in single molding process
no need for adhesives
Mechanical components (TERALINK™ S)
<Applications>
-
Gears and mechanical parts for industrial machines as well as commercial products
-
Low frictional sliding parts
-
Include high fatigue strength, low abrasion loss, and low friction coefficient
-
Longer service life than conventional nylon and POM
-
Components such as smaller (space-saving), more durable gears are available
