LOW-WARPAGE INJECTION-MOLDED HOUSING PART AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH SUCH A HOUSING PART

The present invention relates to a low-warpage housing part (1) for an electrical connector (2), wherein the housing part (1) is injection-molded from a plastic material reinforced with fibers (64), and comprises a base section (14) with two oppositely disposed flat sides (16), wherein a housing section (26a, 26b) extends away from each flat side (16), and wherein a main fiber orientation (68a, 68b) in the housing sections (26a, 26b), which corresponds to a mean value of the orientation (66) of the fibers (64) in the respective housing section (26a, 26b), is oriented away from the base section (14). Such orientation of the fibers (64) in the housing sections (26a, 26b) is used to selectively influence the warpage behavior of the housing part (1) in order to reduce cooling-related warpage of the housing part (1) according to the invention. Due to the orientation of the fibers (64) of one of the housing sections (26b), in particular a counter-warpage is induced in this manner when the housing part (1) cools down, which compensates or at least reduces warpage in the other housing section (26a). The present invention further relates to an electrical connector (2) with such a housing part (1).
