Technology Trends: Busbars

Parisa Burger, Business Development Manager at Freudenberg Sealing Technologies

Busbars - often referred to as “power highways” - are coming into sharp focus, particularly in e-mobility: However, they pose significant challenges for sealing technology. A patented technology therefore relies on overmolding: The rectangular conductors are coated with a special elastomer layer. This demonstrates the importance modern sealing solutions have come to hold: They are not merely a detail, but an enabler for numerous future technologies; and thus more relevant than many assume. Essential to this are advanced materials, sealing expertise, manufacturing competence, and the courage to break new ground.
