Assembly in Action: Zenite Cuts Transformers Down to Size
The smallest transformers have a footprint of just 0.14 square inch and stand only 0.172 inch. These dimensions are possible because Zenite LCP 7130 can fill the bobbin's thin walls down to 0.008 inch. This maximizes winding space, and provides adequate structural strength and electrical insulation. Bobbins for other miniature transformers are equally thin, but are larger to provide additional space for windings.
The precision molding capabilities of Zenite LCP 7130 help keep bobbin dimensions on target for consistent transformer performance. The melt-flow characteristics of Zenite LCP 7130 have also allowed the development of small, close-tolerance parts. Part tolerances of ±0.002 inch are now possible.
