Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a flame-retardant polyamide resin composition which neither causes environment pollution nor liberates toxic combustion gases, exhibits good flame-retardancy even if an inorganic filler is compounded with the polyamide-based resin, and hardly stains the mold during molding. Provision of a flame-retardant polyamide resin composition comprising (A) 20 to 89 wt.-% of a polyamide-base resin consisting of a polyamide resin obtained from xylylene diamine and an &agr;,&ohgr;-straight-chain aliphatic dibasic acid, (B) 1 to 30 wt.-% of a salt of polyphosphoric acid and melamine, and (C) 10 to 50 wt.-% of inorganic filler; and of electrical parts employing the composition.

Abstract: The object is to provide a flame retardant polyamide resin composition having excellent tensile elongation at break and excellent properties for use as a hinge. A flame retardant polyamide resin composition is provided, which comprises 100 parts by weight of a polyamide resin mixture consisting of a first aliphatic polyamide and at least one polyamide selected from the group consisting of a second aliphatic polyamide, which differs from the first aliphatic polyamide, and a semi-aromatic polyamide, and from 0.4 to 20 parts by weight of a melamine cyanurate-type flame retarder.
