Material for Micro - Tec CP carbon fibre reinforced PEEK ESD safe plastic probes
The material used for manufacturing the Micro-Tec CP series ESD safe plastic probes is polyetheretherketone (PEEK) reinforced with 30% carbon fibre.
It is used for the following products:
#52-001060 Micro-Tec CP1 carbon fibre reinforced PEEK probe, fine pointed / strong flat
#52-001061 Micro-Tec CP2 carbon fibre reinforced PEEK probe, curved pointed / strong flat
#52-001062 Micro-Tec CP3 carbon fibre reinforced PEEK probe, sharp flat / large flat
#52-001063 Micro-Tec CPS carbon fibre reinforced PEEK probes, set of all three
General remarks:
- CP series is plastic polyetheretherketone (PEEK) reinforced with 30% carbon fibre
- ESD safe material (avoid powder or dust attraction, avoid spark generation)
- very hard and very high wear resistance
- high tensile and flexural strength
- high heat capacity with a continuous use temperature of 260°C
- good dimensional stability
- low thermal linear expansion coefficient
- excellent resistance to chemicals and aggressive agents
- typical applications include handling of samples and components in cleaning, chemical and assembly processes even at higher temperatures
