ERNI Electronics has extended its offering of versatile PowerElements for the automotive industry

Within the scope of its BLUEcontact Solutions, ERNI Electronics has extended its offering of versatile PowerElements for the automotive industry. The portfolio of PowerElements with a combined flexible/massive press-fit zone has been extended to include versions with purely massive press-fit contacts. In doing this, ERNI is further extending its services and portfolio of key components for automotive customers on the basis of its wealth of expertise in the field of connectors and board design. The company is focusing on the driver’s cab, exterior, and the motor periphery of buses, construction equipment, trucks, tractors, and towing vehicles. For these applications, ERNI offers its extensive know-how in press-fit technology, in PCB assembly, and as an EMS service provider to ensure reliable connections at high currents.

The products within the scope of BLUEcontact Solutions use the proven ERNI press-fit technology for the high current range applications (central electrical systems, security systems, etc.), hybrid applications, and wherever lots of power is connected to the PCB and transmitted (power boards). ERNI’s flexible press-fit zone with 0.8mm metal thickness offers ideal conditions for the automotive sector.

The BLUEcontact PowerElements with a combined flexible and massive press-fit zone are available in variants for M5, M6, M8, and M10. They can transmit currents of up to 290A per PowerElement (at 20°C) and operate in the temperature range of -40°C to +135°C.

The BLUEcontact PowerElements with a purely massive press-fit zone are available in the versions M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, and M10. The current-carrying capacity is specified here with 10A per pin (six to 36). These also operate in a temperature range from -40°C to +135°C. Various versions of the PowerElements are available with a massive press-fit zone: With male thread and full pin population; with female thread and full pin population; with female thread and two rows pin population; with female thread and circular pin population; angled with thread and full pin population; angled without thread and full pin population; angled with thread and two rows pin population; and angled without thread and two rows pin population.

Besides these PowerElements, ERNI Electronics is further extending its services and portfolio of key components for the central electrical systems of commercial vehicles. For these applications, ERNI offers the fully assembled central electrical system along with all the necessary components, such as fuse bases, relay sockets, PCB, and cable connectors.
