The Automotive Design Fast Track
It’s the hottest field in automotive engineering – the development of automotive electronics. From safety systems that detect and respond to danger, to the leading edge of in-car entertainment, electronics are changing the way we drive, and the way we buy cars. Analysts estimate that more than 80% of automotive innovation stems from electronics.
Standardization and integration of electronic components is needed to achieve economies of scale and reduce costs. Cost per function is a major challenge, as is manufacturability.
Accelerating through Material Innovation
DuPont Microcircuit Materials delivers advanced ceramic solutions to the automotive electronic marketplace. Due to their robustness and superior reliability, ceramic-based electronic modules based on DuPont technology are ideally suited to automotive applications, particularly under-the-hood electronics where temperatures can range from –40°C to 150°C, and circuits have to withstand constant vibration.
DuPont also offers market-leading products such as Crastin® PBT thermoplastic polyester resins and Zytel® nylon resins, which are industry-standard resins for sensors and connectors. These products have a proven track record due to their ability to withstand automotive fluids, temperature extremes and impact.
