Freudenberg Sealing Technologies Thermal Interface Material (TIM) used in series-production EV charging port

Green Car Congress

The two-component plastic housing has a complex three-dimensional geometry, since the charging plug’s connection poles pass through it. It reliably keeps the easily bent board in place and facilitates the assembly; the electronics unit is clipped in with snap connections. For comparison, the thermal conductivity of air is 0.026.

Fraunhofer researchers develop technique to produce aluminum windings for motors

Green Car Congress

Cast coils are characterized by a flat conductor arrangement, which leads to a higher slot fill factor and thus to a better utilization of the available installation space. Due to the better connection to the laminated core and more favorable utilization of the installation space results in a much better thermal and electromagnetic behavior.
