Plastic Fasteners Application Trends in Electronic Devices

Plastic fasteners application trends in electronic devices:

1. Lightweight Requirement

Plastic screws density ~1.1-1.4g/cm³, 70-80% lighter than metal, suitable for portable electronics.

2. Insulation Performance

Plastic screws offer excellent electrical insulation, avoiding short circuit risks for circuit board fixing.

3. Corrosion Resistance

Plastic screws resist acids and alkalis, suitable for battery compartments.

4. Applications

  • Laptops: Shell fixing, internal component connection
  • Mobile phones: SIM card tray, battery cover fixing
  • Tablets: Bezel fixing, back cover connection
  • Wearables: Strap connection, shell fixing

Common Materials: PA66, PP, PEEK, selected based on application environment.
