Housings made of aluminum have long been used for dissipating heat away from the electronics, but aluminum is relatively heavy. Injection-moldable Therma-Tech™ enables you to design a housing with the required thermal conductivity at a lighter weight than aluminum. Lightweighting & easier processing –Therma- Tech material is lighter weight and easier to process than aluminum yet offers the necessary thermal management performance needed for ADAS components.

Finally, OEM customers want lighter- weight components to help improve vehicle fuel efficiency.” THE IMPACT By replacing traditional fabricated bent steel plate with injection-molded Bergamid PA 6 resin, HellermannTyton was able to duplicate key performance attributes while gaining new benefits in the areas of cost savings, design freedom and weight reduction. Lighter weight = environmental benefits: By reducing the weight of the part by approximately 50%, Bergamid resin can help automakers achieve better fuel efficiency and lower CO 2 emissions

As a result, this offers sophisticated options for demanding and reusable applications subject to multiple sterilization cycles and heavy cleaning.
