Semitron® MP370 Ceramic Filled PEEK

Semitron® MP 370 Ceramic Filled Modified PEEK offers more choices in the design and manufacture of precision test sockets for the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Semitron® MP 370 shapes exhibit excellent moisture absorption and thermal resistance, while also maintaining outstanding strength and dimensional stability. As a result, this grade is often selected for test socket applications where precision machining is critical, and complex geometries are prevalent.Semitron® MP 370 uses modified PEEK as a base resin offering higher heat for improved ability to machine clean fine features and improved toughness to resist breakage in use when compared to ceramic filled PEEK materials. Semitron® MP370 uses extrusion to manufacture ultra low stress consistent plate as compared to typical injection molded ceramic filled materials. Extruded material provides far better dimensional stability during machining allowing for finer features while maintaining tighter tolerances.
