Aluminum housings are proven, but lighter and more cost-effective alternatives can reduce the GWP (Global Warming Potential) of the component. Röchling develops housings made of pure or hybrid plastic-metal composites for power electronics in the automotive industry. These housings protect components from environmental influences, ensure efficient thermal management, provide EMI shielding, and prevent contact with high-voltage components. They also facilitate assembly and integration into higher-level systems.
