Machined Laminate Insulator Bracket Set

This is a two-part machined bracket set cut from an orange laminate sheet. Each part has a stepped body, a row of small drilled through-holes along one edge and machined steps that locate against the mating component. Laminates of this kind are chosen where a bracket has to insulate electrically or stay dimensionally stable in a warm enclosure, and they machine very differently from aluminum.

The features that matter in use are the hole row and the step faces. Small holes in a laminate break out on the exit side if the material is not backed, and the thin sections between holes chip if the cutter exits unsupported. On this set the parts were machined face-down on a sacrificial backing with the hole row drilled last, so the exit faces stay clean and the steps stay square to the mounting face.

If you are specifying a similar part, tell us the laminate grade, the maximum voltage or temperature the bracket sees, and which face is the datum. Those three answers decide the material, the backing method and the order of operations.
