As electromobility advances manufacturers develop ever higher capacity battery packs to achieve extended ranges. Increased capacities enable the integration of more powerful electric powertrains. Higher power intake is necessary that is achieved through electronic modules that are handling ever increasing power densities. Expectations are good drive dynamics, flash charging and naturally long service life.
High power electronic modules produce immense heat that is working against service life. To reach high reliability of operation and long service life they need a means to convey the inside generated heat to the outer heat dissipation surfaces, or heatsinks.
High power and high frequency telecom modules also proliferate in the car industry for the data transfer necessary for autonomous and connected driving, for fast processing of the signals coming from tremendous number of sensors to support the data exchange of the future’s interconnected car-network. These also demand the handling of the generated heat (thermal management).
For such purpose the best solution can be the utilisation of chemically stabile and inert, electrically insulating but thermally conductive potting materials. Those also serve for protection against mechanical and environmental impacts. Another aspect in case of radio frequency devices may be that they may need to attenuate signals at some areas and may need not to do it at other places.
Momentive’s thermal management materials were engineered taking into account all these versatile expectations. They are created as a result of world-class development efforts and are produced with tight quality control. Momentive is also able to cooperate with its partners in product development through its distributor network. If you have such a demand please get in touch with us already in the early stages of product development. Let’s think together!
