LCP

(Liquid Crystal Polymer)

Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) plastic exhibits high temperature, excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability, high dielectric strength and low coefficient of thermal expansion.

Provided in a standard off-white color or black (referenced by a “-B” suffix in the part number), it can be used continuously at 280°C (536°F), has a melt point of 335°C (635°F), is inherently flame retardant and meets the flammability requirements of UL 94V-0.
