    Brittle PBT problem

    I don't think there was shrinkage, the surface stat was good and the clips seemed to be fully filled. My first idea was about grain size lowering since brittleness could comes through large grains. And with less time, growth is shortened. But since parts core is filled earlier and is hotter...

There are little elastic "clips" which let the conector pass at first and block it (hoping i'm clear). And so, the problem is that about 5% of the parts...
