Marathon Special Products is a leading manufacturer of power distribution modules, terminal blocks, and fuse holders in the United States, with over 50 years of industry experience. Its newly launched 1500 RZ series terminal blocks, made of high-performance thermoplastic materials, have the following multiple advantages:
●Higher durability and lower scrap rate;
●Use 100% recyclable materials to enhance environmental friendliness.
● Light in material and compact in volume, which can reduce transportation and logistics costs.
Fully compliant with UL, CSA, CE, and RoHS standards, temperature range up to -40°C to 125°C.
In addition, its motor terminal block uses high-temperature thermal curing polyester matrix material (RTI up to 130°C) and UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant material, combining safety and performance advantages.
The multiple impacts of material selection on costMaterial cost vs. performance balance
Thermoplastic materials may have a higher unit price than traditional phenolic materials, but their lower scrap rate and simplified manufacturing process can effectively reduce overall production costs in the long run.
Logistics and Installation Cost Optimization
The 1500 RZ series uses lightweight thermoplastic materials, which reduces transportation costs due to weight reduction. At the same time, its compact design minimizes space occupation, helping to improve system integration and on-site installation efficiency.
Costs of compliance and certification reduced
The material meets the certification requirements of UL/CSA/CE/RoHS and others, which can reduce cost expenditure due to material replacement or re-certification, and enhance market competitiveness.
Value brought by safety and reliability
The high-temperature flame-retardant performance and stable structure of the Motor Terminal Block help to reduce after-sales risks and maintenance costs, providing long-term protection for system safety.
Part Two: Overview of Cost Impact Table
Domestic connector manufacturers need to break away from the "initial material price" mindset to be competitive in cost control. They should shift to a comprehensive evaluation of material performance, scrap rate, certification costs, and logistics impact. Inspired by Marathon Special Products, they should choose lightweight and high-compliance materials. By ensuring performance and reliability, they can significantly reduce lifecycle costs and help the domestic alternative solutions stand out.
If you are interested in the material selection and cost optimization solutions for the domestic version of Marathon Special Products connectors, or have procurement/cooperation needs, or have production/sales channels for such products and wish to engage in in-depth cooperation and communication, please contact:
