Flexible heaters

Lightweighting, freedom of design and cost reduction are the drivers for every application and sector. For this reason, Silga is increasingly called upon by its Customers to become a partner in the development of solutions that achieve this objective. Especially if they are non-standard solutions. One of the most important and successful is that of FLEXIBLE HEATERS . In this area, in fact, skills related to: Flexible PCB's Alternative materials Chemical etching capability of metals other than copper Know How in using functional inks Exclusive surface finishes developed by Silga. Production lines adequate for the required volumes

To effectively respond to the technological expectations of its customers and satisfy the different market needs, Silga is able to offer a wide and complete range of products ranging from printed circuits with standard characteristics to highly complex ones. Silga offers single-copper flexible PCBs , double-sided flexible PCBs with metalized holes (PTH), flex therm for heat dissipation, Gigaflex for the sensorized connection of the battery pack to the BMS in e-vehicles and Flexible Heaters for heating and removal of the condensation. Silga flexible PCBs find application in numerous sectors such as automotive, EMS, industrial, medical and wearable.

Silga designs and creates new applications of high-performance circuits for the automotive sector in the field of e-mobility, such as Gigaflex , flexible printed circuits for batteries , intelligent solutions for sensor-controlled connections of battery cells and systems for connecting modules to the BMS . This solution allows for a drastic reduction in the size of battery connection systems, eliminating any cumbersome wiring. In this way, flexible printed circuit boards for batteries become the perfect mix between connectivity , performance and lightness .

Dual access copper connections are an innovative technique for the creation of single-sided FPCs (flexible printed circuits), which however also require a connection on the other side. Thanks to the dual access copper technique developed by Silga it is possible to directly connect the tracks of a single-sided FPC to a support, safely and effectively. The advantages? Among all the possibility of avoiding the use of nickel tabs for the connection; in fact, the dual access copper technique guarantees direct contact and consequently greater robustness by virtue of the fact that additional welding is not required (critical aspect of the robustness of the products, also linked to the stress generated by dimensional variations), which is instead necessary for nickel tab. Furthermore, in the case of connection to battery packs, based on customer needs in terms of materials used in the busbars and the type of welding
