- Main Housing Material: Consumer electronics housings typically use high-strength, easily processed ABS plastic or PC/ABS alloy, such as in smartphones and tablets.
- Premium Product Housing: High-end products requiring superior texture and strength, such as premium laptops, can use aluminum or magnesium alloys for a balance of lightweight design and durability.
- Wear-Resistant Components: Buttons, sliding rails, and other wear-prone parts should use POM plastic, known for its excellent wear resistance and self-lubricating properties.
- Elastic Components: Flexible parts like headphone headbands or phone cases should be made from TPU, which offers good elasticity and tear resistance.
- Transparent Components: Display covers and transparent windows should use high-hardness, optical-grade PMMA or glass, such as smartwatch display covers.
- Insulating Components: Insulating supports for circuit boards should be made from bakelite or FR-4 epoxy glass fiberboard, ensuring excellent insulation and mechanical strength.
- Electromagnetic Shielding Materials: To prevent electromagnetic interference, use copper foil, aluminum foil, or electromagnetic shielding rubber inside the housing or circuit board.
- Thermal Dissipation Materials: For high-heat electronic devices like gaming consoles, use thermal silicone, copper heat sinks, or graphite sheets.
- Cushioning Materials: Internal cushions and foot pads should use EVA foam or rubber to provide effective shock absorption.
- Sealing Materials: Waterproof electronics require silicone rubber sealing rings for excellent sealing and weather resistance.
- Light-Blocking Materials: Camera modules and other light-sensitive areas should use black PC plastic or light-blocking tape to prevent interference.
- Anti-Slip Materials: Handheld sections of products should feature rubber coatings or textured plastic for better grip, as seen in power tool handles.
- Latch Materials: Internal latches should be made from PA66 or other high-toughness plastics to ensure durability and reliability.
- Hinge Materials: Hinges in laptops and foldable phones should be made from stainless steel or titanium alloy for durability and smooth rotation.
- Screw Materials: Carbon steel or stainless steel screws should be selected based on environmental and usage requirements, with surface treatments like zinc or nickel plating.
- Spring Materials: Button springs and battery connectors should use phosphor bronze or stainless steel for good elasticity and conductivity.
- Conductive Foam: Used for electrical connections and electromagnetic shielding, such as between a phone’s antenna and motherboard.
- Absorbing Materials: Ferrite absorbing materials should be used in RF circuits to minimize signal reflection and interference.
- Foam Tape: Used for adhesion and cushioning, such as between a screen and frame, offering strong adhesion and shock absorption.
- Hot Melt Adhesive: Ideal for fast assembly and sealing, such as securing batteries inside housings.
- UV Adhesive: Used for bonding optical components, such as securing camera lenses, providing fast curing and strong adhesion.
- Sealant: For waterproof sealing, use silicone or polyurethane sealants.
- Light-Blocking Foam: Used in display modules to prevent light leakage, typically black foam.
- Flame-Retardant Materials: Electronic housings and internal structures should use high fire-resistance materials, such as UL94 V-0 grade plastics.
- Anti-Static Materials: Static-sensitive electronics should use anti-static plastics or rubber, such as for electronic component packaging.
- Antibacterial Materials: Products that come into close contact with the human body, such as headphones or electric toothbrushes, should use antibacterial materials.
- Eco-Friendly Materials: Prioritize materials that comply with RoHS and REACH standards to minimize environmental impact.
- Easily Processed Materials: Choose materials that balance performance and ease of manufacturing to reduce production costs and improve efficiency.
- Recyclable Materials: Promote sustainability by using recyclable materials such as PET and PP plastics.
- Cost-Effective Materials: Select high-cost-performance materials that ensure product quality and performance while maintaining cost control.
