P-clamp
Case Study
This case study features a metal-to-plastic conversion for the electrical wire bundle clamps used on the Boeing 787. The clamps, designed by Amphenol Pcd, come in a range of sizes and are made from a non-conductive, non-corrosive glass-filled VICTREX PEEK thermoplastic.

Aero-Engine

Victrex can help you design for stability in the most extreme aerospace environments. VICTREX™ PEEK and PAEK polymers have good elevated temperature performance, excellent mechanical properties, and chemical resistance to aviation fluids such as skydrol make, as well as low FST and lower density to common aircraft metals. These inherent properties combined with the design freedom to help consolidate parts for easier installation components for enhanced manufacturing efficiency make a compelling case to replace metal with PEEK and PAEK polymeric solutions.
