General Info
Semitron® ESd 520HR PAI was the industry first to offer a combination of electrostatic dissipation (ESd), high strength and heat resistance. The key features of 520HR are its unique ability to resist dielectric breakdown at high voltages (>100V). Typical carbon fiber enhanced products become irreversibly more conductive when exposed to even moderate voltage. Only Semitron® ESd 520HR PAI maintains its performance throughout the voltage range, while offering the mechanical performance needed to excel in demanding applications. Semitron® ESd 520HR PAI are molded from Torlon® resin using Quadrant’s proprietary processing technologies.

Key Properties
- Surface resistivity 10^10 to 10^12 Ohm/Square (Antistatic Range)
- Thermal performance to 500°F (260°C) Continuous Use
- High Strength & Heat Resistance
- Low CLTE
- 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
- Electronic Assembly Components

Manufacturer Trade Names
Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
