Electronics Industry
- The electronics industry manufactures electronic components and devices, from small components to large systems. requiring materials with good electrical conductivity, EMI shielding, and precision casting capabilities.
- Properties include electrical resistivity (e.g., Zamak 3: 6.0 µΩ·cm), shielding effectiveness (e.g., 60 dB at 1 GHz), fluidity (high for thin walls), and thermal conductivity (e.g., 110 W/m·K).
- Zinc alloys are valued for their electrical conductivity, EMI shielding capabilities, and precision casting, allowing for complex and thin-walled components.
- Zinc alloys are used for connectors and housings.
