Applications

Where our PCBs power
the energy transition

The shift to renewable energy and EV transport demands high-current, thermally robust boards that last decades outdoors.

01

ADAS & Radar Systems

High-frequency RF boards on Rogers laminates for 77 GHz forward collision, lane departure and autonomous driving sensor fusion.

02

EV Battery Management

Heavy copper BMS boards for cell monitoring, thermal management and charge control in hybrid and full-electric vehicles.

03

Engine & Powertrain Control

High-temperature multilayer boards for ECU and TCU operating near the engine bay from -40°C to +150°C.

04

Infotainment & Digital Cockpit

HDI multilayer boards for in-vehicle displays, connectivity, navigation and digital cluster platforms.

05

Chassis & Safety Systems

IPC Class 3 boards for ABS, ESP, airbag control and active suspension — zero tolerance for in-field failure.

06

Body Control Modules

Standard multilayer PCBs for door locks, window controls, lighting automation and central body electronics.

07

Automotive Lighting

Metal-core and aluminium PCBs for matrix LED headlights and adaptive lighting systems.

08

HVAC & Comfort Systems

Robust multilayer PCBs for climate control, seat adjustment and ambient environment management.

The Engineering Challenge

Why power electronics PCBs
require specialist fabrication

Power electronics boards carry hundreds of amperes, dissipate kilowatts and operate outdoors for 20+ years. Standard PCB manufacturing is simply not suitable.

01

High Current & Thermal Management

A 100 kW solar inverter board may carry 400+ A on a single bus trace. Standard 1 oz copper fails within months under these conditions. Heavy copper up to 20 oz, custom thermal via arrays and embedded copper coin cooling are the only reliable solutions.

02

Outdoor Durability — 20-Year Design Life

Energy infrastructure boards operate outdoors, in direct sun, humidity, salt air and extreme temperature cycles for two decades. PCB laminates, surface finishes and solder mask must be specified for IEC 62109 and IEC 61730 compliance with no in-service degradation.

03

High Voltage Isolation & Clearance

Grid-tied inverters and EV chargers operate at 400 V to 1500 V DC. PCB design must comply with IEC 60664 clearance and creepage requirements — board thickness, slot routing and surface finish choices directly affect isolation performance.
