Flexible Heaters
FPCs for batteries solutions include Flexible Heaters, an innovative technology developed for the thermal management system of the same; in this way, the performance of the battery is improved, extending its life span, especially when it is located in areas with extreme weather conditions. Flexible heaters can be realized by using traditional etching or the new Printed Electronics, including the possibility of using PTC inks for self regulation of temperature. In addition, the Flexible Heaters “Made in Silga” offer the possibility of integrating special finishes to ensure excellent performance in any working condition.
Furthermore, Silga is working on the development of both rigid and flexible printed circuits solutions, also with the use of Printed Electronics for charging gates, the “inlets” that are upstream of the charging process of electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles.
