What kind of material is better for the power adapter shell？

In recent years, there have been more and more types of electronic products, and the use of power adapters has become more and more widespread. I don’t know how much you know about the materials of the power adapter housing. Here are some material options for the power adapter shell:

1. Characteristics of ABS plastic

Acrylonitrile butadiene Styrene copolymers (ABS) is a thermoplastic polymer structure with high strength, good toughness and easy processing. It can be normal in the environment of -25 ° C ~ 60 ° C, and has good formability, the surface of the processed product is smooth, easy to dye and electroplating. Performance characteristics of ABS material:
1, low strength, tensile strength 43MPa, bending strength 79MPa.
2, is not resistant to temperature, long-term use temperature should not be higher than 60 degrees Celsius.
3, fluidity, coloring and surface coating and plating performance are good.

ABS materials are used in household appliances, panels, masks, assemblies, accessories, etc., especially household appliances, such as washing machines, air conditioners, refrigerators, etc., which are very large in quantity and widely used.

2, the characteristics of PC + ABS plastic

Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) is a general-purpose thermoplastic polymer. The synthetic material of Pc and ABs has excellent processing properties, good fluidity and high strength (tensile strength 56 MPa, bending strength 86 MPa). PC+ABS material is easy to process, has good surface gloss, easy to apply and color, and can also be used for secondary processing such as metal spraying, electroplating, welding and bonding. Because of the characteristics of ABS combined with the characteristics of its three components, it has excellent comprehensive performance. Become one of the preferred plastics for electrical components, appliances, computers and instrumentation.

3, the characteristics of PC plastic

Polycarbonate (PC) is a tough thermoplastic resin.
1, high strength, tensile strength 69MPa, bending strength 96MPa.
2, high temperature resistance, long-term use can withstand 130 degrees Celsius temperature environment.
3, good transparency, non-toxic.
4, raw material color and surface coloring is not as good as ABS. PC materials have good insulation and are excellent insulating materials. At the same time, its good flame retardancy and stability make it a wide application in the field of electronic appliances.
