Potting vs. foam: the battery pack safety advantage
Sponsored by Epic Resins. As the e-mobility industry continues to revolutionize the way we use EVs and LEVs, one critical question persists for engineers: How can we design a safer battery pack? A recent conversation between Joe Staller, R&D Chemist at Epic Resins, and Luke Workman, Chief Scientist at Electric Goddess, revealed eye-opening insights into material… Read more »
A Comparison Of Module Sintering Vs Soldering: Best Performance Vs Best Cost
As electric vehicles evolve, so do the demands on the components that power them. SiC chips have revolutionized not only the performance of power modules but also the surrounding packaging technologies. Chips are no longer soldered but sintered, die top connections are no longer Aluminum wires but Cu wires on die top systems or Cu… Read more »
John Deere’s electrification efforts trickle down to consumer lawnmowers
Charged tests the Z380R electric zero-turn mower. As regular Charged readers know, the makers of off-highway vehicles and equipment are steadily electrifying their products. John Deere is no exception. The company was started in 1837 when a blacksmith named (you guessed it) John Deere invented a new type of steel plow that made it easier… Read more »
Webinar: A comparison of module sintering vs. soldering—best performance vs. best cost
SiC chips have revolutionized not only the performance of power modules but also the surrounding packaging technologies. Chips are no longer soldered but sintered, die top connections are no longer Aluminum wires but Cu wires on die top systems or Cu clips. So, what is the next level module connection? Sintering with large area silver… Read more »
