Power Electronic Solutions for E-Mobility

Power electronics for automotive applications require high-performance materials able to withstand elevated-temperature service while maintaining their strength, stiffness and mechanical integrity with no risk of electro-corrosion. The e-mobility industry is also trending towards enhanced voltages and reduced packaging and weight for more efficient electric vehicle applications. 

As electric vehicle designs prioritize high-temperature resistance, increased voltages and weight reduction, Syensqo’s specialty polymer solutions help manufacturers and engineers reach safe performance enhancements in electric vehicles. Our V0-rated, halogen-free high-performance polymers are designed with superior electrical properties to enhance the safety of components needing to withstand prolonged, elevated temperatures.

Lightweight and Strong Materials for Power Electronics

For decades, Syensqo’s advanced solutions have provided the most outstanding enhancements for the automotive industry. Now, as the future of automotive looks towards e-mobility, power electronics applications require lightweight and reliable materials for advanced structures. Syensqo’s advanced material solutions for power electronics enable manufacturers to meet weight reduction requirements and high-heat resistance in e-mobility applications.

Enhancing the Capabilities of Power Electronics 

Advanced e-motor applications require exceptionally resilient materials to address the many design, environmental, electrical and thermal challenges manufacturers face. As OEMs look into the future of the automotive industry, they can rely on Syensqo’s expertise to enhance key aspects of power electronics applications in e-mobility, such as HV connectors and busbars, capacitors, power modules (IGBT / MOSFET / SiC), cooling circuit components, cooling connectors and plugs, and inverter housings and top covers.

HV Connectors & Busbars

As e-motors become more compact, connectors and busbars not only need to be miniaturized, but they have to be mechanically robust at elevated operating temperatures. Syensqo offers high-temperature polyamides that retain their mechanical properties to enhance connectors and busbars best.

Capacitors and Power Modules ( IGBT / MOSFET / SiC)

Capacitors and Power Modules face unique challenges when it comes to voltage, temperature and power increases. To reduce flammability, capacitors and power modules benefit from having Syensqo specialty polymers as primary materials due to their superior electrical performance, elevated temperature resistance and property retention. 

Cooling Circuit Components

Power electronics and e-motors require cooling systems that retain dimensional stability in complicated operating environments. With the ability to replace die-cast aluminum cooling systems, Syensqo’s polymer families are ideal in environments where heat, humidity and chemical resistance are major challenges.

Cooling Connectors and Plugs

Cooling connectors and plugs require materials with high dimensional stability, excellent heat and chemical resistance and good impact resistance.

Inverter Housings and Top Covers

Materials solutions for inverter housings and top covers must exhibit extremely high flame resistance, stiffness, heat resistance and EMI shielding.
