Hybrid heat sink

Hybrid heat sink

Hybrid solution

In this automotive component, the best properties of plastic are combined with the best properties of aluminum. The result is a hybrid solution that only dissipates heat from the power-electronics where needed. The rest of the housing is electrically insulating, very lightweight, EMV-shielding, and, through a clever clip connection, saves time-consuming screwing processes during final assembly.

Weight reduction

Weight reduction through the use of EMI-shielding plastics instead of significantly heavier aluminum. In addition, reduction of CO2 footprint for the vehicle through lower part weight.
