What material is more suitable for the power adapter shell?

Power adapters are usually made of high-density plastic materials. According to the purpose, it can be divided into ordinary grade, temperature resistance grade, flame retardant grade, electroplating grade and so on. The main plastics used in our common power adapters are PC and ABS.

1. PC material

Let’s first come to the power adapter made of pure PC material. Pure PC material has super high strength and elastic coefficient, and can be used in a wide temperature range. In addition, PC material has high transparency and free dyeability, which is very good for power adapters in various colors. In addition, this material also has fatigue resistance, weather resistance, tasteless, odorless and harmless to the human body, which is in line with hygiene and safety.

2. ABS material

ABS material power adapter features, first of all, low strength, not temperature resistant, under normal circumstances, the maximum operating temperature can not exceed 60 degrees Celsius, this is a lot worse than PC materials, ABS is generally used in household appliances.

is relative to ABS. PC has excellent molding and processing properties, good fluidity, high strength, easy processing of materials, good processing dimensional stability and surface gloss, easy to paint, color, and can also be sprayed metal, electroplating, welding and bonding. Processing performance.

Moreover, PC material has good temperature resistance and can be made into flame-retardant shell. The user’s safety is more guaranteed. In addition, its environmental protection characteristics are also beneficial to environmental protection and human health. At present, the shells of power supply products are basically made of PC flame-retardant and environmentally friendly materials.
