An electric vehicle’s switching unit is the EV silicone elastomer junction box. It connects and disconnects the vehicle’s components, which require battery power. This part is connected to the entire vehicle via a bus interface or more.
An EV battery anode made of silicon outperforms graphite, the standard material. It also has the potential to save money and have fewer negative effects on the environment. However, in practice, silicon is too fragile to withstand cycles of charging and discharging.
The high-voltage connection is typically turned on or off by the EV silicone elastomer junction box. When the ignition is turned on, it ensures that the high voltage is only applied to the necessary contacts.
The high voltage in these vehicles can reach up to 1000 VDC. There is a safety feature in the EV silicone elastomer junction box: In the event of danger, it disconnects the high-voltage battery from the vehicle’s electrical system, which includes all electrical parts.
The Global EV silicone elastomer junction box market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Elkem Silicones offers effective, cost-effective products of EV silicone elastomer junction boxes that guarantee electronic performance (sealing, bonding, and potting of parts) and electrical integrity (adhesives, electrical insulation, and fire resistance), which are essential requirements for H&EV.
Making certain that the electrical and electronic components of these new-generation automobiles are safe, reliable, and efficient is the primary obstacle facing manufacturers of H&EV vehicles.
Silicones are used in a wide range of solutions for the assembly, integrity, and protection of crucial parts in these new vehicles, making them an essential component in the production of high-performance H&EVs.
Elkem Silicones, formerly Bluestar Silicones, continuously innovates and enhances its product line in line with our extensive expertise in on-board electronics for rail, public transportation, aerospace, and road vehicles.
Production of hybrid and electric vehicles (H&EVs) typically doubles annually in response to the exponential rise in demand. By 2030, 15% or more of all cars in the world will be H&EVs, according to estimates.
Experts believe that there will be even more H&EVs on the global market [Global EV Outlook 2017] as electronic and car battery technologies advance and consumer demand for clean energy vehicles grows. Regardless of the final numbers, every major automaker has introduced a number of H&EV models and is working on many more.
