Sheldahl Flexible Technologies, A Flex Company

On October 7-10, Sheldahl's Enid Kivuti and Shaun Sheehan will be at The Battery Show in Detroit, Michigan. The Battery Show is co-located with the Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo and is the largest advanced battery event in North America. This year we’ll be showcasing Long Format Cell Sensing Circuits using high performance materials, options for designs for Battery Disconnect Units and peripheral Interconnect Assemblies for EV batteries, all of which we thought might be of interest to you. If you would like to connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly, or visit us at Booth 4611. We have a limited number of free passes, please let us know if you need one. We hope to see you there!

The Sheldahl Flexible Technologies booth at the Battery Show in Stuttgart, Germany (booth number 8A43) will have experts available to discuss flexible printed circuits for cell contact solutions, heaters, and insulating materials. This is particularly relevant in the context of the electrification and electric vehicle revolution, as automotive OEMs require expertise in electronic fields to navigate this new technology.

CAFA 2024 We look forward to seeing you at the Annual Coated Abrasive Fabricators Association meeting held March 20 - 23, 2024 at the San Destin Golf and Beach Resort in Miramar Beach, FL. Look for us at our breakout educational seminar “Splicing of Abrasive Belts” on March 21st as well as at our tradeshow booth on March 23rd. Be sure to stop by and see us and check out our samples of our brand new coated Pearl Splicing tape. This product has over 10% greater tensile strength than other white splicing tapes on the market with all of the other great properties of our tape still in place.

"Wishing everyone a happy holiday season and a very merry New Year!"

Flexible Printed Circuits (FPCs) are increasingly used for cell contact/sense solutions in electric vehicles (EVs). These solutions are crucial in connecting and managing the battery cells within the EV's battery pack. Here are some key points regarding the use of FPCs for cell contact solutions in EVs: High power density: EVs require high power density to deliver the necessary performance and range. FPCs offer a compact and lightweight solution for cell contact applications, allowing for efficient power transfer between the battery cells and the vehicle's powertrain. Flexibility and space optimization: FPCs can be designed to fit into tight spaces and conform to complex shapes, enabling efficient use of available space within the battery pack. This flexibility allows for better optimization of the battery pack design, leading to improved energy density and overall vehicle performance. Thermal management: FPCs can incorporate thermal management features such as heat dissipation layers or thermal vias, which help manage the heat generated during battery operation. This is crucial for maintaining the optimal temperature range of the battery cells, ensuring their longevity and performance. Vibration and shock resistance: EVs operate in demanding environments with vibrations and shocks. FPCs are designed to withstand these conditions, providing reliable electrical connections between the battery cells and the vehicle's power distribution system. Scalability and modularity: FPCs offer scalability and modularity, allowing for easy integration and expansion of the battery pack. This is particularly important as EV technology evolves, and battery pack configurations may change over time. Cost-effectiveness: FPCs can be manufactured using cost-effective processes such as roll-to-roll (R2R) printing, reducing production costs compared to traditional wiring harnesses or rigid PCBs. This cost advantage makes FPCs an attractive option for cell contact solutions in EVs. The use of Flexible Printed Circuits (FPCs) in electric vehicles for cell contact solutions has several benefits. FPCs offer high power density, flexibility, space optimization, thermal management, vibration resistance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. These advantages have resulted in an increased adoption of FPCs in the EV industry.
