107 HUBER+SUHNER AG www.hubersuhner.com/en/ solutions/automotive Website design requirements of electric vehicles from different manufacturers, HUBER+SUHNER of- fers its HVDUs in modular form with various levels. Automotive manufacturers are able to use a standard HVDU version that is nonethe- less highly flexible in terms of its dimensions. This results in a power distribution solution that remains cost effective even at smaller unit quantities and can be delivered rapidly thanks to the flexible manufacturing options. The HDVU can also be combined with the RACS shielded high-voltage connection sys- tem. With less than seven milliohm electrical resistance between the shielding from the connector to the high-voltage distributor, the system boasts a high current carrying capac- ity and requires very little installation space. Both the HDVU and RACS are certified to pro- tection class IP6K9K against direct contact or the ingress of solids or liquids. Products installed in the engine compartment of road vehicles in particular require a high level of durability to protect against a wide range of environmental influences and tem- perature variations while also resisting liquids ranging from engine oils and detergents to condensation and aggressive saltwaters. Sys- tem cables used in the automotive sectors must therefore often be sealed using expen- sive and time-consuming processes. The sole exception is cables that themselves provide a barrier against the ingress of liquids. As a solution partner to the automotive indus- try, HUBER+SUHNER offers both anti-capil- lary and high-voltage cables with patented RADOX ® technology and the innovative sec- ond generation of the RACS automotive con- nection system. The portfolio of high-voltage cables for au- tomotive solutions is divided into single core and multi-core cables. Thanks to their spe- cial properties, cables with RADOX ® materi- al do not require any additional protection for the outer sheath. The electron-beam crosslinking process combines insulation and sheath material in one material struc- ture in a way that provides maximum re- sistance against mechanical wear, moisture, aggressive liquids (for example, engine oil, petrol, diesel, battery acid, brake fluid), ozone and weather influences. RADOX ® high-voltage cables can therefore be used in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +150 °C (3,000 hours) without additional sealing and without any loss of their elec- trical properties. In temperatures of up to 120 °C, RADOX ® automotive cables provide an increased service life of up to 24,000 hours, which enables their use in utility ve- hicles, buses and tractors. Whatever requirements the expansion of e-mobility, autonomous driving and the trans- formation from manufacturers to mobility providers may bring, HUBER+SUHNER‘s role as a leading partner to the automotive indus- try means that it is ideally prepared for the mobile future. By drawing on its development expertise, HUBER+SUHNER will continue to offer reliable innovations in the key technol- ogies of modern vehicle development, such as high-speed data, RF-over-fiber, RF antenna technology and high-voltage energy distribu- tion. n Frank Rothe Head of Market Unit LF Automotive Digital BusinessCard E N G I N E E R I N G I N T H E F A S T L A N E As your partner for complex electronics and IT systems we are working at top speed on the automotive future.
