Advancements in Flexible End Terminations for High-Reliability Passive Components in Electrified Vehicles
In our in-depth whitepaper we dive into the world of high-reliability passive components and advacements in flexible end terminations.
Our paper, Advancements in Flexible End Terminations for High-Reliability Passive Components in Electrified Vehicles, explores a breakthrough in thermoplastic-based flexible termination inks— with Heraeus Electronics' ET2010 paste, designed to overcome the limitations of conventional epoxy systems. From improved flexural strength and room-temperature stability to reduced silver content and superior electrical performance, this innovation sets a new benchmark for surface-mount passive components in demanding EV applications.
What This Whitepaper Covers:
- The growing role of passive components in electric vehicles (EVs)
- Why ceramic cracking is the most common failure in passive components
- Challenges with traditional epoxy-based flexible terminations
- How flexible end terminations improve reliability and reduces costs
- Testing results: flex endurance up to 10 mm & stable electrical performance
- Key benefits for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in automotive applications
