Four ways DuPont adhesives and resins advance EVs
Sponsored by Dupont Much of what drives the advancement of EVs today is what you don’t see. For example, crash-worthy adhesives that bond body and battery components along with performance polymers and thermal interface materials that safely manage battery temperature. At DuPont, we’re developing adhesive and plastic solutions that help automakers worldwide produce EVs that… Read more »
Learn how Machine Vision can improve battery, motor and inverter quality while reducing production costs
Sponsored by Cognex Where human vision is best for qualitative interpretation of a complex, unstructured scene, machine vision excels at quantitative measurement of a structured scene because of its speed, accuracy, and repeatability.EV manufacturers and hardware suppliers are focused on achieving greater energy density, cycle life, and safety. During production, stable manufacturing processes are essential to… Read more »
Optimizing thermal management of battery systems in EVs
Sponsored by Henkel Power storage engineers place high priority on finding solutions that optimize the safety and lifetime performance of a battery, while also increasing production efficiency and minimizing costs. Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) and Thermally Conductive Adhesives (TCAs) make important contributions to all of these areas—and can be customized to meet the needs of… Read more »
A look at material considerations for EV charging systems
Sponsored by Toray It is fully expected that electric vehicle (EV) sales will erode internal combustion engine (ICE) market share over the next 10 – 15 years and new global government regulations will ensure this holds true. A recent Deloitte EV market analysis predicts EVs will have captured 30 – 35% of the global passenger… Read more »
Challenges in testing electric aircraft motors and inverters
Sponsored by HBK In recent years there has been an increased interest in electric and more electric aircraft, including both novel all-electric aircraft, drones, rigid air ships and traditional aircraft with efficient and more electric components. Validating these systems and components has challenges due to the nature of aerospace testing as well as the high… Read more »
Moving to higher voltages in EVs: The implications on capacitor selection
Sponsored by Knowles Precision Devices EV manufacturers are beginning to redesign their vehicles to make the switch from the 400 V battery systems widely used today to 800 V battery systems. Just like engineers faced challenges when moving from the standard 12 V batteries used in combustion vehicles to the higher voltage battery systems used in… Read more »
From components to systems: How Dana is redefining thermal management for electric vehicles
Sponsored by Dana As OEMs continue transitioning their conventionally powered vehicles to battery-electric, it takes more than just swapping out a few parts. Electrifying a vehicle requires a complete system overhaul — that includes thermal management systems. When it comes to vehicle design, thermal management is often an underappreciated engineering discipline — and it’s becoming… Read more »

Understanding and solving thermal design issues in MOSFET applications
Sponsored by TTI MOSFETs are the “go to” device for driving motors, solenoids, and other high-power devices. Whenever you work with MOSFETs, heat is always a concern. When selecting a MOSFET, printed circuit board (PCB) designers must understand how much power they will transfer through the MOSFET and the tolerable temperatures. With that information and… Read more »
