 Many of the electronic based systems in today's automobile use sensors that are located in the harsh automotive environments of under hood, on engine, on transmission, and under chassis. These delicate sensing and signal generating devices need to be encased in protective materials that can stand up to the extremes of heat, thermal cycling, aggressive fluids, and road salts.
AMODEL polyphthalamide (PPA) has a proven track record in providing the protection necessary to ensure advanced sensing devices function properly inside the protective housing -- in spite of tough external conditions. Excellent resistance to the most aggressive automotive fluids, high continuous use operating temperature capabilities, exceptional strength without sacrificing toughness, and good dimensional stability are a few of the valuable attributes AMODEL PPA offers the sensor design engineer.
It is a great alternative to more costly, but lower performing encasement materials such as polyether-imide (PEI), polyphenylenesulfide (PPS), and metal.
