Automotive control units (also known as automotive control modules or automotive data modules) are an integral part of the overall vehicle electronics infrastructure, improving performance, safety, and comfort by making new functionalities possible. These units play a pivotal role in enabling numerous power and control systems through monitoring the performance of a diverse set of processes. In doing so, automotive control units are essential components that enable everything from powertrain systems to automatic locks.
Decreasing the weight of the automotive control modules as well as keeping costs down while increasing performance are key challenges that developers face when manufacturing these components. This requires a number of different materials that address thermal management, connecting solutions, and unit protection. Henkel understands these challenges and has years of experience in developing the material solutions for automotive data module manufacturers. Henkel has a team of automotive experts whose focus is on creating innovative materials that meet our customer’s needs.
