  • Patent number: 8272879
    Abstract: The present invention provides a planar connector having excellent performances including flatness, warp-deformation resistance, and heat resistance, being capable of responding to shape changes in recent planar connectors. Specifically, the planar connector is composed of a composite resin composition comprises (A) a liquid crystalline polymer containing 55% by mole or less of p-hydroxy benzoic acid residue and having a melting point of 330° C. or higher, (B) a plate-like inorganic filler, and (C) a fibrous filler having a weight average fiber length within a range of 250 to 600 ?m, the amount of (B) component being 25 to 35% by weight to the total composition, the amount of (C) component being 10 to 25% by weight to the total composition, the sum in total of (B) component and (C) component being 40 to 50% by weight to the total composition, wherein the connector has a lattice structure inside an outer frame, and has an opening inside the lattice area, and wherein the pitch interval of the lattice area is 1.

  • Patent number: 7789670
    Abstract: The present invention provides a very thin planar connector having 2 mm or smaller pitch interval at the lattice area and 0.5 mm or smaller thickness of the lattice area, giving excellent performance in the whole performances such as moldability, flatness, warp-deformation, and heat resistance. A planar connector having a lattice structure within an outer frame is molded by using (C) a resin composition prepared by compounding (A) a liquid-crystalline polymer with (B) a fibrous filler, while the relation between the compounding quantity and the weight-average length of (B) the fibrous filler is controlled to a specified range.
