Charged EVs | EV battery electrical insulation design guide
Sponsored by Avery Dennison Performance Tapes.
Intended for engineers and decision-makers in the EV battery design, manufacturing and implementation, the new “EV battery electrical insulation design guide” from Avery Dennison Performance Tapes, helps readers understand and make informed choices about using dielectric tapes as an electrical insulation solution.
Featuring the Volt Tough™ portfolio of electrically insulative, single-sided filmic pressure-Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) tapes, this design guide demonstrates how a combination of dielectric films with high-performance adhesives can meet the specifications for modern battery pack needs. These tapes offer numerous advantages over traditional coatings, including high dielectric strength within thin profiles (leading to higher pack energy density), instant bonding for faster production times, and durable, conformable, and tear-resistant options for complex geometries and sharp corners. The technology described in this paper also focuses on flame-retardant versions capable of maintaining UL® 94V-0 requirements within the battery pack.
The objectives of this design guide are:
- Introduce and help you better understand the properties, features, benefits and uses of Avery Dennison Volt Tough™ dielectric tapes.
- Help you make more informed choices when considering Volt Tough™ dielectric tapes as an electrical insulation solution in your EV battery pack designs.
- Demonstrate ways to properly integrate Volt Tough™ solutions within the pack using automation and other methods.
- Illustrate ways your organization can work with Avery Dennison Performance Tapes to develop Volt Tough™ solutions customized for your needs
